Assignment:
I understand about the shift from old big mainframes to PCs that are becoming more and more powerful. But why not just link these PCs to the big mainframes and keep the same architecture we used before i.e. a mainframe architecture? (Just having bigger PCs does not mean that the mainframe data-solution was wrong, does it?)
Why would this move to PCs also bring about a new architecture where we use client/server, multi-tiered processing in organizations?
