Saw a friend's kid looking at my record collection, I asked her if she knew what they are,
quote "Aren't they some kind of old fashioned DVD type thing?"

When she grows older, she'll show DVDs to young kids; wonder what they'll identify them as.

I'm young and I was one of the last of my generation to extensively use audio tapes... when all of my peers had CDs I travelled with huge bags of batteries and tapes. Then the MP3 CDs came out, and I finally had normal CDs. My peers travelled with 1-2 discs while I had big bags of CDs and batteries.
Then the pendrive Mp3s came out and I finally managed to get a MP3 CD... and so the story goes on

I was having a similar conversation with a friend the other day.
My first response was, today's 18 years olds wouldn't have been born when the Spice Girls released Wannabe.

I'm debugging an embarrassing error in IE. I won't bore you with the details, but execution of the Javascript has paused on an exception, and while paused I go to the source file, fix the bug (OK, it was a missing comma) and try and open a folder on my desktop to copy in the updated folder.
Explorer is hanging. Little swirling vortex of doom. Nothing.
I then turn off Developer Tools in IE and Explorer springs to life.
ARGHHH.
Why oh why do we have two logically distinct processes tied together so tightly that a debug break in one (an application) ties up, completely, the other (the user interface into the entire operating system).
*This* is why I don't use IE. It's a perfectly serviceable browser. I rarely get rendering issues anymore. But it kills everything in it's path and even some things safely hiding behind boulders.

Seems more a reason not to develop "web apps".

I actually really love web apps. I'm not sure I could go back to desktop.

Yeah, these web developer have an obnoxious "why don't you use a web app for that" attitude towards everything! 
But really, why would I!?!?!

As the time goes by, these "web apps" are going to become "Google apps"...

NO! IE must not die. I have to use some websites regularly that work only with IE (7,8,9).
|
|
|
|
|
It always amazes me that there are sites that require IE7 to work. I can understand "requires IE" for when they use non-standard (ha!) Javascript, but I can only imagine they are using ActiveX or something Unnatural Unto This Earth for that requirement.

For the last 5 years I had a virtual machine with IE6 on it to be able to fill the yearly tax report online...
Only this year they updated the site to support more recent browsers...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

OK, we'll throw the people who create sites that only work in IE under the bus first, then we'll get rid of IE.

Maybe it's M$'s comeback to Judge Jackson who showed that Win 95 could survive without IE.
Pity it's 20 years late.

Well... on Android I found myself unable to use the crappy built-in browser since it was not updatable and did not render half of the pages. I got Chrome: in 30 seconds the phone was unbearingly HOT, the phone crashed after a few minutes of navigation. then I got Firefox: less hangings but still hot phone and battery drained after 30 minutes.
Now I have a low-end Windows Phone (my previous mid-end fatally encountered a brick wall due to frustration with the dumb glass touch-screen: interestingly enough the old common plastic touch works better than any I ever used) and the only existing browser is IE.
Well IE on windows phone works better than ever: very little rendering problems, the battery lasts a lot, it is fast and responsive. Not even Firefox on Windows can do any better.
