I have to say that there doesn't have to be any smart's to the client. I haven't seen to many smarts embedded in IE or Netscape. They are just presentation devices. Yet if I have IE, web server and db backend then I have 3 tier.
Same goes with dumb terminal program, code to do queries and buisness rules and then database at the back end.
3-tier is a very loose description. It encompasses a lot of ways to develop an applicaiton.
Try searching for any terminal based program that used a mainframe as a backend. IE 90% of programs before the mid 1980's. Most would run with front end dumb terminals and database servers at the backend. Or any program that was made telnet capable.
What you have Just said ignores alot 200 - 300 years of industrial development. Most of the examples that were given are now made possible by standing on the shoulders of thoose who came before us. IE Building a city/community takes hundreds of years of resources, it doesn't just happen overnight. The changes from ownership to leasing just means that there will be no one putting any resources for infrastructure.... which leads to the inevitable downturn of communities.
Capitalism doesn't work for people it works for corporations. Too many people seem to think that corporations have the same rights as people.

At least it is visible for you guys..... For us people in the sourthern hemisphere we can't see it at all.
I guess that is one of the limitations of that geostationary thing.
