it is a fantastic way of levelling the playing field. Plues has anyone thought of the massive benifits this offers to beoth developping and the under developped world. Think of the number of people that are going to connected to the information world. Plus the thougt of carrying our complex simulations online rather than paying purchasing expensive infratructure is one of the many advantages i can think of. as with any new technology ppl will accept this one too in no time.

I think Cloud computing is the future. Why control your own crm and pay extra money for the expensive ict controller? 100 years ago you pay sally an extra buck for cleaning and nowadays your rent a company for cleaning. You don't want to think about dirty floors don't even mention manage it, because you want to run your core business. Making money isn't it? Not making unecessary costs or is it?
Company founders you all can do what you do best and that is MAKE MONEY so Go CLOUD COMPUTING.

Cloud computing will boost small companies and guys that have new and innovative ideas but a low budget! This is definitely disruptive and will put internet actors at the same level (it is happening!)

From the perspective of a hacker. It is infinitely easier for me to break through the meager security on a personal computer than it is for me to take on a Google server. In a way, your documents are safer. But that ownership idea. You bring up a very good point. I had never really thought about it.

Now this I totally agree with! I've never bought the argument that the cloud is unsafe in comparison to most personal computers, or even most data centres. As soon as we send an e-mail attachment we are trusting every company that runs the Internet infrastructure it passes through with our data. The cloud just makes it more obvious that we are trusting companies with our stuff. But we are all doing it already! :-)

Perhaps you should watch the video again. You may not have got it the first time.

These are good questions, regarding security, privacy, and the role of the individual vs. the corporation in terms of technology adoption trends. More importantly, I don't think people have addressed up-time enough in regards to cloud computing.
