Colony dismissed the web and the PC as outdated models in today’s society and stated that 41% of IT managers are already looking to migrate from the traditional web to App Internet.

“The web is not the internet; it’s just a software architecture we decided to put on the internet," said Colony. "Like its software predecessors, the web will eventually be replaced and we think App Internet is the best direction for the next step. It's faster, simpler and offers a better internet experience."

Colony said that this transformation is not good news for the likes of Google, with the Forrester Research CEO claiming that the search giant are 'wishing they could stop the world right now'.

Turning his attention to vendors in the app environment, Colony was even spikier, saying that Apple had ‘a lot of luck’ in this area, even suggesting that Apple may face future problems in light of 'overcharging' for entrance to its App Store.

“Steve Jobs never envisioned people would write apps for the iPhone or iPad, he was talked into that later.”

“Apple is overcharging (for the App Store) and this could give them trouble in future. Many companies, like the Financial Times, are saying that it’s too much money.”

Colony puts Android in second place for apps, and believes that Amazon could become the ‘dark horse’ in this race with the introduction of Amazon Silk, a ‘very cool step away from the web’. Colony believes Microsoft could come to fourth position, depending on the qualities of Windows 8.

The Forrester founder believes that Microsoft could also be set to embark on something of a renaissance over the next decade, with Colony citing Intel, IBM and Apple as the companies to ‘come back from the dead’ in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, respectively.
