There is an App for That

Apps (short for applications) have sprung up all over electronic gadgets. From pads to phones to web browsers to tv and blue-ray players they are everywhere. Many new computer operating systems have an app store. Having an app store is one way to install programs without physical media and are useful in locating websites that are interactive.

There will continue to be computers but the goal of the tech industry is to setup cloud based servers where apps can control the program from any device anywhere in the world.

For a way to see apps in action use chrome instead of your normal web browser and locate several apps from the Google app store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore)
then see how using a web browser is as simple as clicking on apps instead of web browsing or program searching.
