As someone that was happy that I could finally afford owning computers with a graphics display on them, this going back to the terminal doesn't stop surprising me.

We still do horses, but hardly anyone is favouring them for travelling around the continent delivering mail.

Kudos to the people that would rather experience that, I guess.

I think horses are the wrong comparison.

I think its more like walking. For some things walking is preferable to driving there. its even less effort for things that are nearby, it uses fewer resources, I can do it after having drink, I can go through places that are not accessible by car (foot paths)....
