Revenge of the Server

Came across this juicy quote from a piece on 5G:
The 5G network can also act like a cloud server, performing much of the computing and storage that otherwise would have to be done by the self-driving cars themselves. That could potentially save the cars a lot of power and space.

One might also re-phrase, thus:
The 5G network can also act like a cloud server, performing much of the computing and storage that otherwise would have to be done by net-clients themselves. That could potentially save net-clients a lot of power and space.

Yet another episode in that thrilling soap opera, "Revenge of the VT-220", brought to you by TCP Productions. While many still view transaction control as a client process, that notion's never been truly intelligent, and the excuse is getting a tad long in the tooth. Toss in Organic Normal Form™, and the times they are a changing.
