Just think, you have a laptop and wireless internet conection, the possiblities are almost endless, you are free to roam and compute, this is how life should be. But the only limitations are your data storage space, you can only run the programs you have installed and saved to your hard drive, you can only access files you have. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could store big files we need else where and just grab them when we need them, or have some website carry a software and you just get on and use it, no installiation. This is the future of computing, this is cloud computing. Eventually we will turn our computers on to no Microsoft or Unix operating system, but instead to the internet, a world wide common OS that we will if not currently all be connected to. We would not need a Limewire for P2P, no Skype or Aim for instant messaging, the need for software to place us on a common medium will no longer exist. Downloading bulky programs to run on computers will stop, instead people will go to product websites to use programs saved on servers at huge data centers, rather than taking up huge amounts of space. Everything is all up in the air, in a ‘cloud’, and you get what you need when you need it.
