The mainframe isn't gone! It's still the way huge companies and government agencies do most of their transaction processing. All those cool things you do with your phone, like electronic banking, e-commerce, and so on? Most of them would come to a dead stop without a mainframe crunching the numbers on the back end. No lie!
