At a recent conference in Paris, Forrester Research’s Chairman and CEO George Colony challenged attendees to change the way they think about the Internet. He posited his theory that the Web is really software architecture and the Internet is becoming the “App Internet.”
Colony explained, “In this model, powerful local devices (PCs, smart phones, tablets) run applications that simultaneously take advantage of resources in the Web/Cloud. If you want to see this model in action, check out iPhone and Android applications.”
Forrester believes that this new “App Internet” could be worth $2.2 billion.”
