there's that the mobil internet
mobil gaming, movies
we are going to blast out of this recession
and all the naysayers will jump on the bandwagon when it's too late.
 
I've been trying to get my brain around cloud computing for the past year or so but haven't really tried too hard. But yes, it is something that will be the next big thing in IT.
 
surface roads to interstate
generators to powergrids
landlines to cellphones

Easy to cut massive expenses to bottom lines
Boon of start ups

Strap your trousers on tight and don't say I didn't tell you ahead of time.

Exactly with productivity at 8% you can have a booming economy without jobs booming. Take a look at the top companies in the S&P 500 and tell me that group is not going to have a good decade ahead of them.
America didn't just forget how to be greedy overnight.
 
by the way i did a Harvard business case on cloud and Microsoft back in my mba and that was like 2004. (tho it wasnt cloud then.. more like open source type shit). My recommendation was that Microsoft moves its software packages to pay for license online venues. For example you want to use word? log into your account anyware in the world from any terminal or mobile device to see your "cloud desktop"

Now apply that to industry.. No more IT department, less power drain on backups etc.. Simplistic cheaper terminals connected to the internet.
 
Reminds me of this.

Report: Fiber Optics Not A Real Thing

BOSTON—Members of the world's engineering and telecommunications communities admitted Tuesday that fiber optics, the supposed technological application that ostensibly allows light to carry signals across optical cables, is not actually a real thing. "Yeah, we sort of made that one up," renowned physicist Willard Boyle said of the fictitious technology around which a $40 billion-a-year industry has been built. "It started as more of a joke, really. We thought the two words sounded cool together, so we just started throwing that term out there. Trust me, no one ever thought it would take off the way it did." Sources added that if fiber optics were, in fact, a real thing, it would probably be utilized in some way with Bluetooth technology, if that existed.
 
Well, I definatly see a huge use of the Software as a Service portion of it. Basically pieces of software are now just web-apps that can be accessed anywhere. Cloud Computing is already here but like I said, the industry is still trying to wrap their brains around it and find uses for it.
