The Future of Clients

With the advent of the network terminal-a $500 PC receiving much attention among the online world and highly touted by such industry giants as Oracle and AT&T-and other similar devices, client software is likely to function as part of the operating system rather than as individual software. Netscape, the most popular World Wide Web browser, is already doing this by combining into one application mail, FTP, even Internet phone, and soon many other clients. With advancing wireless technology, it is possible that someday day soon you will send and receive e-mail and travel the information superhighway from your cellular telephone (hopefully not at the same time you are navigating the actual eight-lane highway!)
