So what? A browser is all you need to make a website.
- ghaff 8y agoHistorically, when people have talked about desktops and laptops they have generally been thinking in terms of a stateful device that ran applications locally. Increasingly they're just a convenient form-factor to run a browser. They're effectively functioning as a modern-day thin client. When people say the desktop/laptop is largely dead. That's what they mean. [ADDED: That, and that web access is increasingly through a phone.]
