When it comes to thin clients, a lot of computing does happen via web services these days, albeit mostly video streaming and REST-based applications. Did you envision things a little differently?
- jvanderbot 5y agoI think he probably imagined it being a little thinner. The box on the desk hasn't changed size much. But certainly the majority of "stuff" people do at home now takes place in data centers. And as a percentage of all computing cycles day by day, data centers do effectively all of it.
- kzrdude 5y agoI realized I move very little data from install to install -- most of my data is in various web services. I relatively painlessly can work both from Windows and Linux - most of what I need is in web browsers and remote systems.. certainly a success of "thin clients" - especially the browser.
