Is the Cloud even an issue and is it the next direction the business and home computing world is heading? Assume for a moment that, like most of Europe and North America the Cloud is becoming a major force in modern day computing. Love or hate the Cloud, it is here and regardless to its stumbles and failures...it keeps growing and maturing at an incredible rate. What was impossible yesterday and today is a new standard tomorrow. The industrial age as we know is gone. That has little to do with China and other cheap labour and more to do with technology. North America, has almost completely regained its prowess in manufacturing but instead of hiring thousands workers only a few hundred are now needed. At one point in time, all factories will be fully automated and all but a few support staff will be required. In the meantime the economy sprints towards the information age and new related technologies are popping up like mushrooms. Some stick and some just disappear but so far more are sticking than disappearing. Take the following link to what is being considered a break-through in Cloud technology: http://tinyurl.com/7a5aaj5 <quote> Startup Numecent has come out of stealth mode today with some of the most impressive enterprise technology we've seen in a decade. </quote> Very strong words to have to support...but if it lives up to its current billing watch out. The claims are that IT CAN MAKE ANY APP A WEB APP. http://tinyurl.com/7z8fjyu Incredible! Jim
