Android on the wrong track: do not rejoice too early on Fuchsia!



[ad_1]

Fuchsia is a new operating system on which Google has been working for about two years. Pretty open, because the source code is on github. However, it was completely secret that Fuchsia should really serve. Is this an Android successor? A replacement for ChromeOS? Or the attempt to challenge Microsoft even the office monopoly? A Bloomberg report answers many questions, but also allows us to look into the abyss.

Read Bloomberg's report which contains many exciting ideas about Fuchsia. In the light of the report, I would like to put three thoughts for the discussion here:

1.) Google developers are very unhappy with Android

At the end of the report appears information that can be overlooked: Fuchsia also serves To keep veterans Google in a good mood. Not just on a whim, but especially in the Group. Experienced developers are therefore considered ready to migrate and can develop a complete operating system with a team of about 100 people?

Inevitably, this leads to the question: What does this mean for the state of Android? Probably not good. The architectural weaknesses of Android – especially for smartphones – are known and difficult to solve. Apparently, the development potential of Android from Google's point of view is no longer sufficient to develop a system for the next 20 years.

2.) Fuchsia can do more than talk on the phone

The report says that Fuchsia will be on the market in three years. However, first, to launch voice – activated gadgets. After that Fuchsia will appear on the hardly used laptops. The plan is to completely replace in the next half decade Android by Fuchsia.

Fuchsia is actually, in fact, the universal solution of Google, which is to unite all systems and platforms. Of course, no final decision has yet been made and Google has developed an unbeatable ability to act from time to time – this can even be the core of the brand.

Fuchsia will be able to do more, so only make phone calls. Google is openly developing a weapon against Apple, Amazon and Microsoft. It will be a modern operating system, without inheritance, as familiar with smartphones and smartwatches as smartphones, laptops and other gadgets that we do not even dare to dream today. ; hui.

3.) We will not notice much

Who now sees the fulfillment of all dreams in Fuchsia, who will probably wake up soon with a headache. Even if Google replaces Android with Fuchsia, this should mainly affect the substructure. Application developers will have to change, but users will not notice much of such a change. Google can even let Fuchsia and Android run in parallel for a while, as Microsoft has done with Windows 9x and Windows NT at the time.

Smartphones pose new challenges for operating systems, including security and privacy. A coherent new development could save us a lot of trouble. But probably, nothing will come from that. According to the report, the advertising team has prevailed at least once in systemic issues. In short: Google remains true to its business model – users pay with their data
