Chromebook – Nothing but the web

One day when I was on YouTube, an advertisement caught my eyes. It was introducing the Chromebook. The dynamic background music and fresh-looking animation first got my attention. But soon I found out the idea was really awesome!

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVqe8ieqz10

  • Chromebook is defined as something neither a laptop nor a computer but a “web in a computer-like object”.
  • There are no programs – you don’t need to start up, and just seconds and you are on the web. You can do everything on the web such as using Google document, Google map etc.
  • No desktop and not even a desktop background
  • Is portable
  • Everything is saved to the web “since it has more space than any computer”
  • Doesn’t need virus protection and systems are updated automatically

Despite the brilliant ideas, I have got some concerns for it.

  • Security Issue:

Everything you do will be recorded as some form of data to the web which means there is risk they will be exposed.

  • Backward Compatibility

How does Chromebook understand data generated by other devices such as laptop or computer? it seems that it is designed only for people who just want to surf the internet and that’s all
