"the path of less resistance"
um:
the path of least resistance
is the path that led to people standing around whistling
at the trees while their next door neighbours were
carted off to the gas chambers, gulag, what-have-ye.
Allowed the computing world to be dominated by a monopolistic player that
has demonstrated time and time again that it doesn't really have much
respect for its clients
by pushing inferior goods as "the thing".
-------
The rise of online applications has let people who follow the path of
least resistance right into
a socking great trap.
When I use an online Office app who ends up reading my "letter to Mum"
apart from Mum? One has no way of knowing.
When I use an online imaging service to tweak my holiday pictures who
ends up seeing me engaging in
competitive goat-racing in Liechtenstein?
The Chrome-book is the ultimate whoresons: why not plonk your family
jewels in the hands of strangers?
Of course Google hangouts is more of the same . . .

Skype represents the path of less resistance
and now I understand why.
Check the answers that slashdotters gave to the question:
Which Software/Devices Are Unusable Without
a live Internet connection?
https://ask.slashdot.org/story/17/11/13/2319243/ask-slashdot-which-softwaredevices-are-unusable-without-connecting-to-the-internet
My own conclusion is:
Too many Developers are following also
the path of less resistance, even
if this means to accept a live internet
connection just for using their own devices
and productivity software. :-(
