And herewith another example of history repeating itself. If we make the assumption that: - The vision of Web 1.0 (mid- to late 90's) was Web 3.0 (the modern web app). - Web 2.0 really just evolved the technologies and tools. During the 90's we deplored thick client apps. We had 2/3/n tier on the desktop, and we wanted web apps. Now, 15 years later, we're building 2/3/n tier apps in the browser - but we make the same architectural mistakes we made with thick clients, we ignore user control and consent, we expose devices to all sorts of attacks that don't exist in thick client apps... That's hard-core irony, right there.
