TECHNOLOGY: Moving to a new computing paradigm

So one day I decided to look for alternatives. We’re starting to see interesting services online. You can’t find a complete replacement for your desktop using your browser (yet) but it’s getting there. So I decided to start this website to share my story of trying to get it to work. But I want to take it to the extremes! I want to challenge the technology!

An admirable objective.

It’s certainly one way to deal with win rot!

I think with a healthy shove from a stupid Microsoft with Vista, there are three interesting “prime directives” of the users — use the web for everything, Linux not Microsoft, and wireless uber alles.

MYUNINSTALLEDLIFE is on the crest of the first wave. (Although I’m not sure what one does when the web is offline).

The second one is all those who are not going to pay Microsoft, or Dell / Intel for new hardware to run Microsoft’s new pig (Old hardware on Ubuntu works nicely!)

The third is wireless connectivity everywhere (free?) to use zero or thin footprint clients. (Although I don’t know what one does when that wireless ain’t there or is expensive?)

It is certainly going to challenge my view of the world.

I have always used my framework (Users – Systems – Apps – Data – Wire) where Systems covered Platforms and Operating Systems.

I may have to rethink this paradigm.
