Are Browser Bookmarks Really Necessary Any Longer?
We are becoming an increasingly mobile society, relying on access to our data in multiple ways, through multiple devices and on multiple networks. Browser bookmarks are a dated technology, having been married to web browsers ever since the dawn of Internet time. Bookmarks have not really evolved throughout their lifespan. They are a largely static feature and they continue to offer no truly revolutionary usage method.
Based on how we are migrating away from a single computing device on a single network to multiple devices across multiple networks, are bookmarks really the solution to our requirement to easily keep track of sites we find interesting? Are bookmarks really a necessary feature at this juncture?
