Soon we will be carrying paperthin laptop�s which will be used just as an input/output device with actual ( or major) processing & storing happening at remote servers. Thanks to internet, providing a stable communication pipe .
There are already few commonly used desktop applications out there one can use online such as NumSum (Spreadsheet), Writely(WordProcessor) which uses AJAX as its core. This somehow recalls my early days of computing when I worked on novell networked system which worked on local network. Now we have a BIG network out their courtesy internet and so many software companies builing applications on top of it.
Another interesting online application is YubNub which claims to be a ââ?¬Ë?command line for webââ?¬Ë? having Linux kinda flavour.
Things will continue moving in the above direction and we may soon be seeing more of similar applications� just need to think what they can be.
Good news for web-experts, good days ahead !!!
