In less than 10 years, we completely changed our mind about what an application is. "Back in the days", it was a piece of software made to run on bulky computers: your favorite "apps" were Firefox, MSN, Internet Explorer (Hum hum), 3D Pinball, ...
Now, ask any teenager what's his favorite app and you won't get any of those, but rather Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram. The inherent concept of application has changed, and now desktop applications are made to look like a mobile one. This has pros and cons, and one of the big separations that still exist between the two environments is the multi-windowing. This is why computers are still the main productivity tools for professionals : you can easily see multiple applications displaying multiple information at once, something that is quite not so easy on our smartphones and tablets (even if tablets are slowly getting to it).
But it looks this is going to change!
With the new Android Nougat comes new functionalities that tend to break the idea of "app as a whole", introducing a kinda modularity concept :
Those kind of new features will force the developers to think their application with modularity in mind : either for the users that want to use only a specific feature and not the whole app, or for power-users wanting to expand their productivity by having a lot of stuff on their screen.
This modularity will probably also have a impact on the use of "classical" computers : a lot of users already use their mobile devices as main tools for their jobs, and with the increasing power of those devices, the necessity of having a bulky/heavy laptop with you all day is decreasing every day.
That's something that we really take into account at EASI : the builders of tomorrow are the ones with an open-mind and a clear vision of the future, thinking today what can be the best for you tomorrow.
