Blockchain is the trendy name, you don't need another one.
Also, in your examples - program/application/app is a rename; mainframe/server/cloud refer to related but distinct concepts, it's not just a rename.
- sigmaprimus 5y agoFair enough, there may be a distinction between renames and differentiating between distinct concepts. Network Attached Storage became Cloud Storage, The internet became the net and now is the cloud?
- jstx1 5y agoI think you're reaching too much trying to find some overarching patterns. The internet is distinctly not the cloud.
- sigmaprimus 5y agoThe cloud would be the totality of devices connected via the Internet? Hence the prefix "Inter"? or the cloud would be the devices AND the connections?
- MerelyMortal 5y agoIt's currently trendy, but no trend lasts forever, it will eventually get renamed to something that flows off the tongue more easily.
