Wired: The Web is dead.

Here’s your homework for tonight, reading Wired’s exhaustive package on how apps are killing the web and who’s to blame (us or them, though I haven’t quite figured out who us and them are. I blame that hard to read white on red text).

“Over the past few years, one of the most important shifts in the digital world has been the move from the wide-open Web to semiclosed platforms that use the Internet for transport but not the browser for display. It’s driven primarily by the rise of the iPhone model of mobile computing, and it’s a world Google can’t crawl, one where HTML doesn’t rule. And it’s the world that consumers are increasingly choosing, not because they’re rejecting the idea of the Web but because these dedicated platforms often just work better or fit better into their lives (the screen comes to them, they don’t have to go to the screen).”

And for extra credit you can read Boing Boing’s refutation of Wired’s infographic.

That will be all.
