TIMESHARING; NOW CLOUD COMPUTING; FULL CIRCLE

In the sixties it was TIMESHARING.
You paid to be connected to a large room full of servers in another place.
All  users were also connected and it was 8 seconds in, 8 seconds out, etc.
Today we now have CLOUD computing.
Seems to me the only diffence is you are always in, never out.
Interstingly enough, with time sharing you never noticed the in and out delay.
Is that progress or history just repeating itself.

THINK ABOUT IT!
