Small Pleasures

So its obvious the whole of the internet as we know it is encapsulated via a single handful of applications known as 'browsers.

The limits of our expectations as consumers can be mercilessly,or mercifully (however you want to relate to this ) , reached through what these offer us. And business as usuall remains to those that conduct it.

Maybe this sounds a bit hopeless. But it is only an observation. Perhaps one wich has been keenly noticed by many electronics firms vying for our attention. You no longer have to ask the reasons the 'visual aids aren't being served up, since the person at the computer no longer has to be the expectation of the 'web page.

HTML is but a single set of application programing anyway.If it was for something considered 'modern, and 'programming, the reason to put all of the integration from HTML into the application space is beyond me.

This is only speculation of an observation though. But over time, as we have noticed 3D advanced visual propencity leave the reach of the users design, it has gone into proprietary specifications, and so far has not been seen. Even though now the power to handle these applications are all around us.

With Microsoft serving up the 'business light, what space is this going to leave the ubiquitity of the application for the normal person at the desktop.

If you notice Sun Microsystems has a program called 'looking glass'. Wich is a 3D interface. And while 3D by some starch jacket programers and editors are just 'folly,and frolic to them, it is what is required for the 'ergonomics inside the 2D wich we are now using.

Some in the electronics,or entertainment industry may not want the desktop to progress into these, since the woo and the awe that corresponds to what everybody is so used to usually was aspired through that industry,. However it is everyday stuff to use now. So that we expect it.

But without a good trustworthy browser some of the good stuff, isn't going to make any effect to that intelect.

Some VRML softwares include Viewpoint Viewer,Parrellel Graphics Client viewer, among others.

But I dont see how as a proportion of general public it is expected our participation is going to be the provision wich is handed from x-facto business. Since realistically the person at the computer makes there own business, and most of the time creates its own indifference of business through everyday life.

Idea being Ive got my computer,my browser,my communication wich is not applicable to business. Basically. Just how Microsoft among others stands to justify their existence at that extent is kind of non-relevent to this.

At this end is more relevent that this story lets on. Even though wasn't the point of the story.

Party in speculation.

-just talking.
