Why do you think we HAVE the PC?
We had the "cloud" back in the 70's. It was called "The Mainframe". You used a dumb terminal (think web browser) to access centrally stored applications and data. What happened? Users got tired of waiting for their applications and data to appear on the "cloud" and that's how the whole "PC revolution" started.. Now the "experts are all calling the cloud the next big thing. Ah yes, "Back to the Future"
