Say what?
It's better to compute in relative isolation--and have a life. The
Internet has made computing much harder because it's not there when you
need it, and when it is, it's unreliable. Remote storage in "the cloud"
is almost as good as lost. Remote storage elsewhere, where instant
retrieval is possible is much better.
There are some new applications that are simply trash with flash [or
maybe Flash]--redundant, and no more useful that what we already have,
unless it's the "shiny new object" or toy factor that attracts you.
Get a life. Or give me the new toys--no charge. [not you Steve]
