The trend is clear: the desktop operating system will merge with the mobile OS in the coming years. However, the main question is: why?
We have already been beginning to see this trend with the major technology tycoon, Apple Inc.
The three S's listed below are a few reasons as to why consumers may be looking for more mobile use rather than the conventional computer that we have seen throughout the past decade.
Simplicity
The main reason Apple wants to make Macs work like the iPhone and iPad can be described by just one word: simplicity. Despite years of innovation and the invention of the graphical user interface, computer operating systems remain too confusing and complex for the majority of people.
Security
Mobile operating systems could potentially be more secure than their desktop counterparts. In particular, if Apple makes the App Store the only way to download apps to your Mac, it would become more difficult for users to install malware because of the approval required through Apple.
What's more, mobile features like tracking the location of your devices or wiping them remotely will make consumer desktops more secure.
Syncing
Unity; perhaps the most obvious benefit of making desktops work more like phones between all your devices.With a similar (or single) operating system on all your gadgets, syncing apps, contacts and calendars between them all becomes effortless.
So there you have it: your desktop computer is becoming more and more like your phone. Do not be surprised to see the line between the two systems disappear one day.
