Many younger developers run from hype to hype and are completely imprinted on their marketing overlords. The dev community grew too quickly to be contained by its own culture and history, as it - in my opinion - should have been. Because there are important lessons to be learned from the past that spans decades. "The Cloud" isn't a 21st century invention. Neither are "thin clients" and having all your data in said cloud. One of the best articles about this is the essay "The Eternal Mainframe"by Rudolf Winestock.
