internetcentric

Internetcentric refers to a design philosophy or approach where the internet is the primary platform or focus for a product, service, or system. This means that the core functionality, user experience, and operational aspects are built around connectivity, accessibility, and data exchange via the internet. Instead of a standalone application or device with optional internet features, an internetcentric solution is fundamentally dependent on its online presence and capabilities.

This approach often emphasizes features like real-time data synchronization, cloud-based storage and processing, and seamless integration with other online services. The user experience is typically designed to be consistent across various devices and platforms, as long as an internet connection is available. Examples can range from cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) applications to smart home devices that rely heavily on cloud connectivity for their operation and remote control. The development and maintenance of internetcentric solutions also differ, with updates and improvements often deployed remotely and automatically. This model can facilitate rapid iteration and widespread access but also introduces dependencies on internet availability and security.
