To be released in the summer, Macromedia Central will allow Flash to be run on the desktop as well as on websites using a web browser. I don't want to be too quick to proclaim that this is the end of the browser - it's hard to see how such a general purpose tool could fall by the wayside. But it does mean that your internet access will become multidimensional, and that we're about to enter an era where we access different internet services the way we start different software applications today. Including, maybe, learning. Initial reports suggest a relatively slow uptake, but I think it'll catch on fairly quickly, especially if it launches more quickly than, say, Internet Explorer.
