Miracle of TV being broadcast invisible over air, then we start putting cables everywhere. Terminals and servers evolved to desktops, and now we go back to servers, or "Cloud". We had a Space Shuttle which was reusable and was plane like, now we ditch that and go back to olde skool rockets. Now this web design style, which to me throws out everything we were taught about usability, etc in the past.
No, not precise exact parallels, not with out good reason either, but to me its a broad, vague pattern. We seem to eventually loop everything backwards eventually.
Not saying this is wrong or bad, it just seems like what "we" do. Its sort of like music revivals, fashion revivals, or TV show remakes.
Look out for building block sized phones and black and white TVs in the future!!!
Oh, hang on. Phones... Used to get smaller and smaller, now smart phones are huge. There you go, another one!!!!
