In other words, we'll regress from having a PC to a net-enabled terminal—they'll just be called "smartphones" and "tablets" instead. Just like computing started

In other words, we'll regress from having a PC to a net-enabled terminal—they'll just be called "smartphones" and "tablets" instead. Just like computing started it looks like there is a trend to, again, go back to the terminal model.
- cek 15y ago"There is nothing new in this world." - Some wise person You could paint it that way, but I choose to view it differently. The "new" terminals are far smarter. Nobody will ever confuse them with dumb terminals. There are a wide range of popular form-factors (phone, tablet, TV, car, watch, browser, PC, signage, ...) where in the old terminal model there was one (~PC). And the kicker: The "app" is now designed to not only SPAN all of those devices but to do so in a rich, people-centric way. That "rich way", by the way, requires huge client side computing resources. Lastly, I said "people-centric" above because the actual equation for the new value proposition is: experience = people + devices + cloud services Note all entities are plural.
