your computer at home has everything waiting for you just the way it was at work. Though not your phone (if you need to work at other times/places). Historically, we've cycled between distributed and centralized computing. I'm not convinced the cloud is the one true way (though certainly we'll keep the option of being connected). Factors include: price of computing power; how much is actually needed; network bandwidth/latency. Personally, the latency of webapps drives me up the wall. Makes me wonder if a resurgence in apps is coming. Native apps seem more popular on phones...
