I noticed the term "Clouding Computing" changes according to various experts. It is interesting to see how the meaning changes from business perspective to everyday use. I've heard of this term being touted as next big thing for the technology. A bank in Spain decided to try Clouding Computing with their computers... probably only reason I am aware due to the media coverage. The goal is to create more storage for the data... through the servers. This doesn't create warm feelings because of the potentialities of destructive force such as virus. Imagine, a virus attacks server then it affects whole group of people instead of one person. The article from Futurist Speaker was... interesting, especially the comments. There were some people who seems to be determined that the libraries are useless as cassette tapes- this struck me odd... like they do not realize that not everybody has latest technological device. Does they really want the libraries to become elite information center for selected economic class? It just defeats whole purpose for the libraries as the accessible place for all. This is to not say I am against the development of kindles and nook. It just means libraries should remain accessible even with the advances in technological devices. I believe as the generation grows up with technology, they will be more savvier with the use.
Good Luck, everyone with end of the semester! :)
