You could see the end of the true "Personal Computer" when the Netbooks, Tablets, Smartphones and Cloud Computing took off. 99% of people just use a computer for communications and entertainment. They don't need or care about actual computing power, except for the Graphics card of course. It's actually a little surprising you can still DIY build at all.
Centralization with Dumb Terminals is the Rentier model, when software disappeared fromm Best Buy, I knew the whole thing was Doomed. The net has turned to garbage anyhow, so as a tech that once held the potential for freeing and uplifting humanity, it has turned into an epic failure.
