The terminal is still the most efficient control center for the machine. We have less control than before so we get dragged into the cloud, onto centrally coordinated networks. There are converging factors that will give back some control but I think people should be treating that convergence with more urgency than we do now. Of course the terminal should also evolve, new standards need to be set.
