Closing the Digital Frontier
by Jai Haravu 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

I recommend the article titled 'Closing the Digital Frontier' in the Atlantic Monthly, July/Aug 2010. The article is about how the Internet browser will loose its importance with smart phones and Apps for these becoming available. This also means that information is no longer going to free/unfettered, a paradigm with which the web was founded. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
