Why i dislike web applications

People are starting to forget the internet is so much more than just the web.

The web is very suitable to quickly set up a page with nice formatting. Also hyperlinks are very useful.

However pages were never designed to be dynamic. Client side script poses a security hazard when people start messing around with it.

Http was designed for getting a single file. Ajax enables updating of a page without reloading it but this requires continuous querying of the server. A permanent socket connection would allow pushing of updates by the server.

All functionality in RIAs have been possible for ages in "real" user interfaces.

People have become addicted to the browser. Its time to come up with a new technology which allows easy  creation of dynamic user interfaces with some client-side code and continuous server connection.
