Yes, but ironically the PC was a reaction to the more authoritarian IBM server/terminal model. The PC was really about owning and being able to hack your own shit. It seems like cloud+device lockdown is just reinventing servers and terminals...
I mean, they're not called International Personal Machines, are they? The server-terminal system worked well for a large organisation, and it's not far away from how many companies still do things.
