Pushing The Cloud: What can it do for you?

As most of you may know cloud computing lets users of the same cloud access each others documents, media and other assorted goods through the sharing of cloud networking. But something that you guys may not know, is that most of you are probably using cloud networking without even realizing it. Something I have noticed these past couple of months is that Google is a company that is strongly pushing this cloud technology the most. My guess as to why they are pushing so hard is because their operating system, Google Chrome, will be entirely based on “The Cloud”. Google has introduced Google Docs (I use to write all of my blogs) a prime example of the cloud, Google docs allows users to share and collaborate in real time on a single document then is stored on their server. Which means less space on your hard drive, no third party apps needed, and of course it will always be stored on the cloud.

Why are people pushing the cloud so much? Why can we not just do it our way? The answer is simple, cloud computing and networking is the future. It allows faster and a more reliable source of storage and also makes real time collaboration a piece of cake for anyone on your cloud. But who do you want on your cloud? Is cloud computing going to be a security failure? We do not know the answer to these questions just yet but companies such as Google and Yahoo will soon find out the answer and soon enough we will to. The cloud will prove to be something very powerful, but how reliable? Leave a comment about how you feel about the cloud and what you think will happen in the future about Google Chrome OS and other cloud networks.
