Computers are dead and the web is dying with it. In the 90s, computers were used mostly offline, but with the release of Internet Explorer, applications transitioned towards the web. In the early 2000s, websites were growing. People would surf the web for fun, to get content, and there were even dedicated portals from Yahoo and AOL.
Computers were still used to access the internet, computer programs were still essential for internet access while phones were still gaining features. People used the internet for fun; websites were still being built, flash animation was a thing, and new forms of media were exploding.
Podcasts, blogs, internet games all exploded in popularity. Magazines transitioned to the web and news went online. Life was fun... but then people stopped creating and just started posting links and memes on social media. The portals died, and now the top 50 websites, excluding illicit content, are just search, social media, and shopping. Computers are just big screen phones now. People do not surf the web, so all the content is 'locked' behind Instagram reels, ridiculous 10-second videos, and finding good sites, new programs, and new uses for tech has become hard.
Windows Phone died because of the lack of apps... now, with only a few apps in use, it could rise again.... Computers are dead, the web is dying, and apps are next.
God bless and Tech Talk To You Later!!
