Killer Apps by Berger
According to Dr. Carl F. Berger at the University of Michigan, the
next killer app must fit one or more of the following:
- it should do something we couldn't do before (remember VisiCalc?)
- it should do something so much more easily that we can't
remember how we used the old system (the natural example here would be a
WYSIWYG)
- it should integrate several applications to make a process so
seamless that we can't imagine that any part could be separated
(a web broswer is a good example of this)
