Will the Web disappear in favor of mobile only interaction?
Yes. Web will disappear because the world is constantly wanting to go faster. In the not-so-distant future no one will have the time to sit nor desire to sit down for long enough to search the web. Plus, mobile interaction is so convenient. Why would someone want to sit at home and read about something on the web, when they can interact with it on their iPod.

What are some of the differences you see as a designer in designing for mobile smartphones, mobile tablets, and browser based interactive?
Well, if designing for a smartphone, I would definitely keep my design simple. People who use smartphones are most likely going to use it on the go. Mobile tablets are slightly different because someone who has one is not necessarily going to be running around, because tablets are larger than phones.
When designing for a tablet, I would still keep it simple, but I would be able go include more information. Of course, the tablet has to have some kind of interaction with the user, so I would have to work that in somehow.
A browser is not as interactive, but there still has to be a way to keep the user interested.

What are their differences in standpoint, simply stated?


Are you for the democratic, user-delivered-content web or the closed expert delivered content of the app world?


Is Steve Jobs monomaniacal or a saint?
I would not consider Steve Jobs a monomaniac. As long as he continues to discover and grow, he will not be considered obsessive. He is however a very smart man. Any person who invents such a thing like iTunes or Pixar is alright in my book. His knowledge in new media is phenomenal and could possibly be considered a "saint" of some sort.
