from what i’m seeing, it’s all about all your data available, everywhere

personally, i’d be glad if they’d divide the net in 2 parts, regular and pro, pro costing a small amount of money, keeping the bullshit away, no irritating websites and pop-ups, etc, oh man, that would be great, i’d pay for sure
and ofcourse, the pro internet would have a higher traffic rate

Fluther not only answers the questions, but tells you what they are in the first place.

Cloud computing, RIAs rivaling desktop applications not only in the richness of features but in sheer numbers of daily users, further development and proliferation of mobile devices as platforms, as iwamoto said regarding “all your data available, everywhere”.

I’ve always been wondering about (and wishing for) a possible substitution of the markup languages behind presenting web pages. Thinking more in terms of simply editing a normal document in a word processor, where you simply select some text and make it bold, and that’s it. Obviously, there has to be some form of ‘markup’ even there, although under the hood, so to speak. But being free from all or most of these markup tags when designing ,would be a refreshening evolution. (I think I’m somehow referring to an evolution where so called wysiwyg editors doesn’t need to exist.)

Edit: but then again… I’m dead tired and need to go to sleep, and I might not necessarily know exactly what I’m trying to say ^ above. :-P

I’d say that, as opposed to all your data moving “into the cloud” as it is curently, a step back to centralization. Not that you’d move your data out of “the cloud”, but simply aggregating it in a central place so you have an overview of all your data even though it’s littered out across the web.
(In fact, I’m working on this myself :)

@iwamoto – oh God no. First of all, pro had to be extremely expensive if every website has to be checked. Furthermore, checking every website takes up a lot of time meaning that all information is outdated. It also harms collaboration.
Besides, if you do a little bit of effort you can already filter out all the ugly content right now (I’m thinking Firefox, Firefox extensions such as AdBlock, services such as OpenDNS, etc.).
