André Staltz added,
The web was the first (and for a long time the only) virtual context where humans could interact globally in real-time. 2/
Online gaming and Second Life were the second virtual context, but restricted to entertainment. 3/
Social mobile apps (FB, Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat) are new virtual contexts that rule today. 4/
Some modern virtual contexts have an interface through the old virtual context (the web), e.g. YouTube, Facebook. 5/
But many of the new virtual contexts don't have a web interface (e.g. Snapchat and until recently WhatsApp). 6/
Hence some virtual contexts are in competition, and many are corporate-owned. The web, on the other hand, is co-owned by everyone. 7/
History proves that an attractive new tech pushes the old tech into obsolescence. The web is that old one, suffering that risk. 8/
The web is an endangered species of virtual context. 9/9
The maddening part for me is how many folks who claim to want it to succeed seem fine with a slow decline.
