People have such short memories. It wasn't so long ago that mainframes were rented at exorbitant prices and all the users connected through dumb terminals so they could run bottom of the barrel user-hostile software (which was often also rented). Now it's called "cloud computing", and you connect through a similarly dumbed down device that fits in your pocket and spies on you. No lessons have been learned.
