in 2010, shortly after these endeavors began, was offered up this notion:
I had been thinking for sometime that always connected, sort of, devices on a network are semantically identical to the VT-220/RS-232/database/unix systems of my youth. In such a semantic, with appropriately provisioned multi-core/processor/SSD machines, BCNF databases with server-side editing of screens is perfectly, well, appropriate. Back to a future worth living (as opposed to the 3270 old future of the current web).
Well, now a decade later,
I find this posting
But web browsers have become more capable, and cloud computing now enables a lot of sophisticated stuff to happen off the physical phone.
IOW, the device is a semi-dumb terminal, whether the PC or phone. The future looks wonderful.
