Re: AHA! Another Prediction of mine shinning!... Cloud computing!!!
The problem with 'internet' everything is that a high speed wide bandwidth
service is not available to a huge amount of people living in remote areas.
Satellite services do not work well in bad weather as many in Canada could
tell you. Snow, ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones, tsunamis etc
take out just about any form of contact with ISP services, as do road
accidents where vehicles take out poles carrying the wire based services.
This kind of computing has been talked about for a long time, and still
nobody has come up with a good way of ensuring total reliability for
everybody. Many people in my part of the world struggle to get a dialup
service, let alone anything else.
Cloud computing is an apt name for the 'technology' presently. Try Cloud
Nine.
