Death of The Web

There has been a lot of speculation about the death of the web due to the effects if capitalism and a large consumer market (which is producing new technology daily). "A decade ago, the ascent of the Web browser as the center of the computing world appeared inevitable. It seemed just a matter of time before the Web replaced PC application software and reduced operating systems to a “poorly debugged set of device drivers,” as Netscape cofounder Marc Andreessen famously said. First Java, then Flash, then Ajax, then HTML5 — increasingly interactive online code — promised to put all apps in the cloud and replace the desktop with the webtop. Open, free, and out of control." (Wired) Despite recent research about this dramatic change, I could not disagree more I believe we still use the web for everything. We might have adopted Ipads and Iphones but we still use the Internet on them.
