Re: [iPad] OT: Windows: It's over

 


Good question.  Maybe we need to back up and rethink the assumption that we need spreadsheets at all.  After all, spreadsheets are a two-dimensional representation of something much more complex, no?  The same with the rest - presentations, etc.  We use those tools because we always have used those tools.

Just what do you think people will do office-work-type tasks with?

Working with spreadsheets, writing papers, creating/coordinating/producing
documents & publications, keeping records, analysing data, producing
invoices, creating presentations & websites, doing graphics work, editing
movies, converting files to different formats to use on other devices &
systems....

I am predicting in the next decade MOST of us will not have a dedicated sit
at it computer. In that regards Microsoft and it's software is dead.
Augmented reality games will replace consoles. Wearable computers will
replace smartphones and laptops. The desktop of paradigm will be in the
past. I doubt it will take as long as a dozen years. But I dunno. I'm sure
typewriters are being sold but I'm referring to the somewhat bleeding edge
where we are now waiting for the next greatest thing to shock and awe us
from Cupertino....
