ABSTRACT: The Google Ngram Viewer is used to highlight some of the ideas, nomenclature, individuals, and events that have come to comprise the Austrian tradition.

Computing and networking practices move in cycles. In the early days of computing, processing occurred in a few large mainframe computers, with users dialing in using “dumb” terminals. The PC revolution of the 1980s made it possible for simple tasks to be performed locally, on the desktop, while more complex computations took place on minicomputers. As computers became more powerful, workloads shifted increasingly to the desktop.
