    What will be the next programming fad?

    Over the years of visiting programming forums, there is always some fad app EVERYONE wants to write. Usually newbie programmers that couldn't even write a Hello World app with big eyed dreams of creating the next big thing.

    As far back as I can remember, it was in this order

    Instant Messengers
    P2P apps like Kazza
    Currently MMORPG's are the big fad

    So whats next?

    "From scratch VOIP apps"

    That is the most likely candidate I think.

    And full File Transfer system.

    And the whole thing has to be encrypted.

    Plus a built in license/registering system to prevent people from pirating it.

    Stream Music thru Media Player to all of my chat buds linked together using all messenger protocols in one app like Trillian, with option to launch boot codes to any user you wish on whatever protocol you wish while simultaneously downloading pr0n and having the files replicate on each of the buddies computers so they dont have to go out and download anything at all they can just view it.

    Plz give coding for that ... and I only want in one line plz!

    Talking Re: What will be the next programming fad?

    The next big thing is VoIP apps. I know cuz I've seen lots of ppl asking for codes for one, even here (example: link lol). Plus there are tons of voip companies popping up looking to buy softphone apps so many 'grammers are getting into that.

    After voip, acording to Microsoft is video-game-like software. interactive high graphic and sound program interfaces. like virtual personal assistants or something.
