Topic:
Since the late 90s, the web has transformed software from installed programs to accessible services via URLs. Web 2.0 and JavaScript frameworks enriched web apps with desktop-like features.
The 2007 iPhone launch reshaped software development, emphasizing mobile-responsive designs and user interfaces. By 2008, the App Store revived interest in installed apps, sparking a competition between native and web apps.
Recent advances include diverse form factors, AR/VR/XR, machine learning, and low code tools. The Apple Vision Pro and Tesla CyberTruck's AI in 2023-2024 mark significant shifts, introducing spatial computing and AI-driven interfaces that could minimize traditional interactions. Emerging technologies like thought-computing devices are set to further reduce user interface friction.
This summary discusses key trends and future predictions in software development, with potential demonstrations using an Apple Vision Pro.
