This is really a pragmatic and very old school thought. In the past when glass house was very much with us, dumb terminal was the way to access informations. Then we wanted to have a personal touch on it. Yes the PC, workstation and all. Then wireless phone and duplication of same computing tends to capture our brain away from real work. I've always thought that cell phone, computer terminal, kiosk, TV all should mostly be presentation devices... Since the dawn of PC, and when x286, paging, and hard disk came to us, not sure how many PC, hard disk, tube I had to junk. Yep, I'm trying to leave a huge footprint for the next generation to say "Dude you guys were really dumb". Since things are converging ..., yes time for cloud computing.

I’ve always thought that cell phone, computer terminal, kiosk, TV all should mostly be presentation devices… Since the dawn of PC, and when x286, paging, and hard disk came to us, not sure how many PC, hard disk, tube I had to junk. Yep, I’m trying to leave a huge footprint for the next generation to say “Dude you guys were really
dumb”.

Since things are converging …, yes time for cloud computing.
