> "Mighty", for example, is just a "dumb terminal" - technology we had in the 1970s. Yet it is called "the future".

In that way Dropbox seems just rsync; and there are more examples like this. Cherry-picking useful functionality from a relatively niche tool and making it significantly more accessible sounds like a big feature. Perhaps this is the future.

dropbox offered server storage space, something most people did not have , and it was free. everyone has a browser and internet connection already, this service is only offering faster speed.

Dumb terminals weren't niche, and have always been extremely accessible.
