Just don't tell them, that they do ;-)

If you really think about it, the terminals just got faster and
got more colors. (and you call them smartphone, thin clinet, tablet, win 
PC, ...)
Otherwise:
a.) most data is somewhere in the cloud (before it was called mainframe)
b.) a lot of applications are running in the cloud (before, mainframe)
c.) you connect now via wireless internet (before: modem)
d.) ...

So, just Emperor's new clothes ;-)
