Mozilla Labs Presents the Future of the Internet

Mozilla Labs wants people to start suggesting new original ideas for the future development of web browsing. The first entry worth noting is a video by Adaptive Path with a product called Aurora. Aurora isn't browser but OS which is built entirely around the Internet. Aurora will probably never be a reality but it does demonstrate the direction that both Apple and Microsoft should be taking. It is not impossible to imagine a computer which is merely a terminal to the Internet. Today we are heading in that direction, as cloud computing becomes more and more promising. Despite failures like MobileMe, new online products like web based storage, email, word processing and other utilities might bring about the demise of the desktop oriented operating systems.
