cloud computing is not inevitable, any more than desktop computing is inevitable.

cloud computing is a larger version of the old mainframe paradigm where the local system is just a display, for many years it was 'inevitable' that desktop computing was better, now it's 'inevitable' that cloud computing is better.

they both have advantages and disadvantages.
