Cloud Computing — Boon or Bane
Posted by Krish in Technology, on August 28, 2008 | 2 Comments
Google has in many ways, revolutionized the way most people look at the Internet. One of them is Google Applications, which allows “simple” documents such otherwise known as “Word” Documents and “Excel” Spreadsheets and “PowerPoint” presentations to be created, edited, stored and shared online — in the Internet “Cloud” so to speak. So what exactly is this “Cloud” all about ?
The Cloud has been the ubiquitous symbol of the Internet in Network Diagrams from the beginning. One of the possible reasons that the Internet is referred to as the “Cloud” is because like a real cloud, it has connections to pretty much everywhere … and it transfers information to and from various hosts connected to it either directly and/or indirectly.
Information Technology = Invisible Technology ?

Some time ago, while I was chatting around with the rest of the group, a comment from one of them set me thinking — How would I want to experience Information Technology ? Should it be loud ? Should it be subtle ? Should I know that is really happening back there when I click a button ?
Just like in my previous post about the Blind Men and the Elephant, different people have different ideas on how Technology should work for them. Some of them would like to wear it on their sleeve, where it would be visible to all, while others could not be really bothered about IT as long as their their work got done and their targets were achieved.
