>As Apps Disappear, Will They Be Seen As Disposable?
Haven't they always been? They're mostly games and toys. The number of actual tools I have installed is really really low, I have a half dozen additional apps because they're currently fashionable for communication. Everything else on the store is either serving a need I don't have, or ephemeral nonsense.
I'd even lump things like pandora in with the ephmeral as disposable. I got a new smartphone a few months ago and haven't even thought of installing it until writing this post. So even if the company pandora will be around for decades, I've reached the point of diminishing returns from installing apps before I get to them.
