Google is slowly adding so much function to it’s chrome browser that eventually we will wake up and realise we really don’t need Windows or OSX on our keyboard devices. That’s their plan anyway.

The number of third party cloud based services that are coming on line to replace downloaded software will help accelerate this transition.

Microsoft is sort of fighting back by creating an Office cloud wormhole in Android. In principle, if all those apps go into the cloud then we won’t need Android either.

Microsoft would be well placed to buy Linkedin to help compel people into the Office wormhole. It would be good for us too since LinkedIn don’t seem to be able to run their own business.

Eventually you can imagine buying a device, any device, and the set up would simply ask you which of the preloaded wormholes you want to use – Google, Microsoft or Apple.

And within these would be cloud based services owned by one of these companies but available in all three.

Essentially there will be three large pools of data suckers and maybe one Chinese one as well, with lots of data overlap between them.

When we get to this point we will still be on the internet but arguably we will have moved away from the WWW and into the World Wide Data Wormhole Oligarchy.
