The victory of the mobile platform has wrought many changes in the enterprise world. Emails are now more succinct because no one can type at length with the tiny keyboards. Web pages are simpler because no one's eyes can read all the detail on the tiny screens. And the cloud is essential. Mobile phones and tablets can't exist without a healthy collection of services from distant machines in faraway racks.
The cloud was always a good idea, but now it's indispensable. The ability to poke around in the file system of a desktop machine is an awesome freedom -- and a great responsibility. The desktop world still operates under the rules of living created during the frontier days of the early personal computer. They're your files; now show some gumption and take care of them.
