Remote computing makes sense from an environmental perspective. There would be a drastic reduction in e-waste if people were using zero clients instead of desktops.
I don’t know how well that holds. I’m not under the impression that much cloud hardware can be it is reused. Also thin clients tend to have short lifecycles
I said zero client, not thin client. A zero client is basically just a device that connects to remote computing, not unlike a dedicated streaming device.

OnLive’s zero-client console wishes to have a word with you.
Oh wait, it can’t. It’s dead.
Even zero clients become outdated, with the additional detriment of being 100% dependent on the service they are connected to.
Maybe in theory, but in practice, Chromebooks.
