Firefox, the new OS, fueled by Google and Linux
I enjoy to follow technology, especially technology related to the enhancement of the Internet. The Internet has turned into a huge network, full of rich data. The glory of the Internet is it's interconnectedness. With google as the power house search engine, information is at your finger tips within seconds. In some cases, google can retrieve search results faster than your Windows search.
My prediction for the future is that computing will be straight through a browser. As web browsing and scripting languages such as PHP and AJAX are getting more powerful by the day, and browsers are being more standard compliant, it is ever more clear that applications that were once only available as a desktop application, will be moved to the browser. For example, check out key moves by Google, Google Gmail, an ajax application that mimics Microsofts Outlook, Google Docs, the equivalent of Microsoft Word and Excel.
Even though these applications are not as powerful as much the desktop applications, they are being equipped with more functionality each day. As web technology increases, and the internet starts becoming more reliable, there will be a shift from operating systems to the browser. The key advantage to this is, one can use Linux which is free, and cut out Windows or Mac OS, thus saving alot of money. Also the huge benefit would be your computer can travel anywhere with the rise of mobile technology all your files are within reach of a server. With the combination of better internet connetivity and the development of new and better web applications, the browser will soon take over as the primary users tool, leaving Microsoft in the dust.
