Today, cloud computing is pretty much having a skydrive for access to your files from anywhere online. <br /><br />I still see little use to it other than that, but makes me wonder if this could be a milestone for something bigger. <br /><br />What if we had an application that was multi-platform (like firefox) which was used to load several applications that all they required is to have the big application running for them. I can access Facebook games and apps on Linux as smoothly as on Windows because I have a web browser and Flash Player installed. So I could have access to other applications without installing them (because then I would have to bother with finding the correct version for my OS) and just loading them from the Internet. <br /><br />Of course, this is thanks to the fact that the software is built with the same tool rather than to Cloud Computing.... :-PSantiagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169923258769397177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514795258871703434.post-28860908450260720772011-06-08T19:36:35.145-06:002011-06-08T19:36:35.145-06:00Not only Emily Dickinson but this humble blogger c...Not only Emily Dickinson but this humble blogger commenting right now also anticipated this debate, hehe!<br /><br />The cloud is useful...for some tasks. But going further and entrusting all your data to perfect strangers is a careless move...especially if you don't bother to read the terms of use of your chosen cloud services.Megatotorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268018256762186695noreply@blogger.com
