Sounds like another typical tech scam....
Nothing about cloud computing is new. I sat in on a cloud computing roundtable discussion event several weeks ago, and one of the panelists made a comment like “I used to be an application service provider, then I did software as a service, now I do cloud computing.” Anyone who has been in tech for more than 10 years should get it; he got a really good laugh out of the room.
There are a lot of serious issues with cloud computing, not the least of which is data security.
Exactly. Since when is storing data and applications in remote, off-site locations and accessing it with "dumb terminals" a new idea? That's what we were doing decades ago during the mainframe era! Sheesh.
I despise the computer/high tech field. Aside from basic everyday functionality that really doesn't change much over time, the entire field is nothing but a scam where high tech vendors scramble to constantly make their own products obsolete. I worked in this field for 20 years before the stress and meaningless futility of the work burned me out.
I used to make a solid six-figure income in this field, but I would not go back to it for ANY amount of money now. It's mostly all pure bovine excrement like this "cloud computing" BS.
