How the Web Wins ☀
If the second coming happened right now, Jesus would probably show up as an app.
It seems everything these days is an app, or awaiting approval, so don’t be surprised. You read it here first.
What’s funny is that we’ve had a killer app for the internet all along, no need for a second coming. It’s called the web.
Publishers have gone down the app road before. The idea of putting out periodicals as executable files is as old as the “disk magazines” of the 1980s and 1990s. These were delivered on floppies via snail mail with custom editions for the Commodore 64 and Apple II, for example, since there were no cross-platform standards at the time outside of text-only ASCII.
What happened? The web.
