Again…. “The Web is dead”

Not only are tablets the future, but "We think the Web is dead." It may always be there, but it's not the future. Nor are e-readers-devices like Amazon's Kindle. "There's one advantage to those things and that's that they can be read on the beach. That's not enough."

If the Web is dead, what's rising is "the "app Internet." And that's where media companies need to focus themselves strategically. The need to de-emphasize their HTML skills and become app-Internet developers-for tablets and smart phones alike. "That's the most important thing”
