Yeah, as usual, i was sitting idle. I was planning to be exact, planning on how to spend (or should i say ruin) the next few years of my life. That's when a friend came over and showed a site, http://www.broom.org/epic/. An excellent sci-fi flash file, describing about what may (???) happen in the future. I have been pro-google for a long time, so I had to mention about this link. Is it possible? Will it work out? Will i be reading what my friend is reading? Who knows? Atleast gives me a new reason to survive till till 2014 (as if i wont otherwise :D).
Was reading "The Google Story", when i got this wierd idea. Consider a stripped down version of Linux, meant only for doing simple things such as browsing the internet, to read from the various drives (which is primarily meant only for storage of personal data), to play music and some single-player games. All the rest provided by the internet. Information searching/Chatting/Mailing/Documentation editing/journal maintenance/daily schedule maintenance/news/rss/shopping, etc. What else will you use for your computer for? Ok, actually i have been working on mainframes for some time now and am getting adjusted to the "dumb terminal" concept. Then i started associating the concept with scenario we are observing all over the net. As a matter of fact this will reduce the power of processing required on the client side also!!! Looks like the world is changing.... for the bettter, yup, i am sure. technorati tags: New internet age , dumb terminal , internet based world
