THE OPERATING SYSTEM OF THE FUTURE WILL NEED ONLY ONE APPLICTION: A BROWSER

     Applications are the reason we use any computer device. Think of having a very powerful computer with no application but only the Operating System....why would you need it anyway?. Most application require to be installed to your system before being used. Some application offer full usability by being accessed from a remote server by a client(the user) through a web browser. One of the main drawbacks to accessing these application is internet connectivity reliability. An internet connection may be disrupted in the middle of a session which affects the client and may result to inconsistent updates to the server.
Generally, internet connectivity has become better and better over time globally. Only recently United Kingdom and Germany launched a partnership to implement 5G networks. Okay, back here in Kenya the best we are at currently is 3G connectivity which does pretty cool. I am optimistic we may move to 4G soon as the top service providers run systems that have the ability to easily evolve.


  As internet connectivity becomes this reliable it will be very easy to deploy remote servers running application that clients can access through web browsers. After implementing the application logic, they need to provide user interfaces that can be lendered on browers possibly using HTML based technologies.This should lead on to thinking of Google apps and /or their Chrome OS. The overall effect of implementing this is that the operating system becomes extremely simple giving your computer amazing speeds. The hardware is also greatly reduced and the cost of the same would go down. Think of a computer without a hard disk and only relaying on RAM!
Very soon you may need on one program running your system; Mozilla , Chrome or IE.
