Check out this article on Vinny Lingham, one of Skyrove's shareholders.
I think GQ misquoted him on Incredible Connection though. What Vinny meant to say was that traditional software, distributed on CD or DVD media, was a thing of the past and that the future was online Web 2.0 applications.
Personally, I think the future is a bit different.
Currently, I can use OpenOffice to edit my offline files. For online collaboration on documents, I use Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
What I really want to be able to do is combine offline and online work seamlessly. Internet connectivity is not ubiquitous yet, and I need access to my files and appointments when I'm on the go, but also want the collaborative power when I am.
The next revolution is not that everything will go online or Web 2.0, but rather that there would be seamless synchronization between online and offline applications.
