It never ceases to amaze me to how things go in a circle and are always considered 'new'. When I started in computers ,many,many years ago there were few standalone computers due to the expense. One of the answers then was to use terminals such as teletypes to connect with a mainframe server (a cloud) then computers got more reasonably priced and it was best for everyone to have all data and programs resident on their own mainframe. Then timeshare became the norm and then PC's came along. Now we are back to a 'new' invention, 'the cloud'.Sounds like a song that goes 'everything old is new again'. I just have to wonder what magic is next -- Mainframes and terminals,maybe???????????????
