MayayanaThis sort of thing has been going on for decades. In the 80-90s it was X-windows here the idea that the programs (apps) are all stored on a central server, this meant all you need are terminals much cheapr than fully fledge computers, thos ethat pushed these ignored the facts of unrelibility or unusability of teh service if teh server went down or there were other problems such as lift engineers curring through cables. Years or so after it all changed to local systems where everyone had their own PC with the programs and document on that. Now we have a sort of hybrid situration which works most of the time and ignores problems that some users might face because overall most people don;t experience problems.
