Hi,
I like to make a thread here for people to discuss Apps. To be honest i am not really a big fan of them but i do think they have their place on a mobile phone or tablet and not on a powerful computer.
The reason i am not a big fan of Apps is because they are really just cut down versions of programs you have on a computer. On a computer Why would you use an App instead of using the full programe or the website you can go to? I know that Apps are designed to make life easier but i have felt recently as Apps seem to be everywhere these days and are not going away, That they seem to have made people very lazy in computing, Some people cant even be bothered to switch on their pc and this is not a good thing!
Woman are a very good example here as they love their phones and are always using the App version of a programe instead of using a computer and it kinda gets me cross if like me a computer user is using the same programe as they are and they cant access all the features you can, It is really very frustrating!
What do you people think?
Do i have a point?
I like Win 8 and some of the apps are useful but i always seem to goto my desktop and never the Metro to do my computing and to be honest felt the apps are best suited to a tablet as they are are a touch screen.
