People want both resources to be shared and a place to store their 
individual items only they are interested in and want to keep.  Also 
sometimes processing in a system is shared between the shared system and 
the individual computer.

You are thinking too linear.  Too restricive of a system just limits our 
creative spirit.  Also the more the shared resources do, the more 
powerful both they and the network have to be to keep up.
