The cloud is really just the centralized computing paradigm of the old days with a new coat of paint.

This fascinates me because people seem to have forgotten that the reason personal computing was such an incredible thing is that it freed people from that old paradigm. I suspect that, over time, people will lean anew why it was that being freed of it was such a great thing.

Yeah, exactly this! I'm always telling people that "the cloud" is just taking us back to mainframes and dumb terminals. Especially now with things like Chromebooks existing.

The most offensive thing of all is that modern dumb terminals don't have keyboards anywhere near as good as the old days.
