I’ve worked around “data centers” my whole adult life. In the 80s, they had computers numbered … mostly les than a dozen. In those days, if you had to reboot one of them, someone didn’t have acces to their whatever but they were mostly people inside a company. Nobody out in the real world dealt with them. Each of them was unique… like pets.
In the 90s, websites started making something available to anyone. Again, if you had to reboot it, or if the traffic got too much, they would be unavailable for a time. These were still like pets, mostly.
After about 2000, it became important that websites be available all the time, for people anywhere. This required more computers, redundancy, and all kinds of complicated nerd stuff. Anything you used after then was most likely hosted in a data center. This is when they started becoming like cattle - not unique, managed as a herd, and mostly interchangeable.
It got bigger as the corporations took over most of what was happening, and the redundancy started meaning multiple copies in many different places so that if one went down because the web doesn’t tolerate downtime much. That has always required datacenters.
The data centers people complain about now are being built because the new applications like the chatbots and such need orders of magnituge (that’s what it’s called when you start adding 0s at the end of a number) of more systems because lots of people are using them and they take a lot of resources to do what you ask. I don’t think cattle is the right colorful descriptive word that is appropriate for this kind of beast. Swarm?
