Recently, I’ve been considering the future of technology. It’s occurred to me that more and more applications that would typically be software on your computer are becoming available online, often for free.

For example, it used to be that you’d need software to organize your email. But now you can use Gmail which is proving just as functional of an organization platform as Outlook or Apple Mail.

It used to be that if you wanted a fax to email service you’d have to download software onto your computer. But now you can use services like GoFaxer which is completely accessible online and doesn’t require software.

A recent article at MSN.com outlines the future of computer technology. It suggests that eventually you won’t even have a PC:

Once freed from the keyboard, you’ll be able to talk or gesture to your computer from virtually any display in your home. Or you may carry your pocket-size computer with you and beam the image to a nanocomputer embedded in the nearest wall-size screen. Paper-thin displays are inching closer to reality, too.

And these small pocket sized computers will be freed from excessive software. They’ll simply need really strong connection to the Internet. Additionally, every day objects will be connected to the Internet. Your toilet will monitor your health and your fridge will be able to notify you when you’re running out of milk and where the nearest grocery store has it on sale.

It’s going to be a brave new world. I can’t wait.
