The core question - is typing, or making presentations, actually your job, or just a tool you use to get your actual job done? What matters is the connective tissue of a company - the verbs that move things along. Those can be done in new ways.
Of course typing is a tool to get the job done, but I highly doubt you’ll find a better one any time soon. Typing’s fairly good at what it does. It’s simple, easy to understand, and easy to use. It’s flexible enough to allow input of a variety of unknown and unexpected things, yet still be easy enough to be learned by mere humans.
But for an actual brand, developer or publisher wondering if they should do an app or a website, the calculation is much simpler and less technical: ‘Do people want to put your icon on their home screen?’
No. That isn’t the calculation. You can put a website’s icon on your home screen. I’ve done it with lobste.rs. In my opinion the calculation is whether or not it needs access to certain hardware or “cloud” resources, which one would be easier to do, and which one would look better.
A big part of this hunt for a new runtime, and a new discovery layer, is messaging.
Nothing has changed, there’s nothing new here. It’s simply another way that people communicate with each other. This is, as far as I can tell, a fancy way of saying “it spreads by word-of-mouth”.
what do mass-market retail or restaurants look like if no-one needs to park?
The same, just with less people trying to find an open parking space.
For restaurants, the idea is that you meet up with other people and enjoy food together. I don’t see what that has to do with cars.
Mass-market retail, though, is Amazon.
