The Universal Interface: The Death of the App (Ep. 546)

Описание: In Episode 545 of *Database History*, we look ahead to the moment computing changes forever. For forty years, apps defined how we worked: icons, menus, tabs, windows, and endless switching. But in 2027, the center of computing shifts. The AI Operating System becomes the universal interface — and the traditional app begins to disappear.

This episode explores:
• Why apps were built around the limitations of early computers
• How AI becomes the front‑end for every task
• Why tools replace apps as the new execution layer
• How agents replace workflows and multitask like OS processes
• Why the app store becomes a relic of pre‑AI computing
• How the AI OS adapts to the user instead of the user adapting to software

From rigid interfaces to shape‑shifting AI tools, this is the future history of how software dissolves into the AI layer — and why the “app” becomes a legacy concept.
