I don't understand what you're getting at. That things go in cycles? Sure, I agree with that. Is there something else?

- ghkbrew 12y agoHe's talking about a specific cycle in computing where it has moved from centralized processing to decentralized multiple times in the past. For example -first there were mainframes with glorified type-writes as terminals -then we had personal computers -then we had thin clients -then we had thick clients -etc Basically this has happened before, will likely happen again, yet people (or maybe just tech reporters) always seem so surprised when the pendulum swings back the other way
- jlarocco 12y agoI'm not sure anybody is surprised here. The fact that the pendulum is swinging back the other way is news, though maybe not very exciting news.
