Right now, the World Wide Web has everything you can ask for, besides classified information. I honestly don't know what I can expect to be provided here on the internet besides, getting rid of annoying pop ups and ads from a lot of websites.
By reading a short description of "Cloud Computing", I think that instead of software being installed on the actual computer its installed on servers and you can basically access that software from anywhere and any device.
"software offered as an Internet-based service can be developed, tested, and run on a computing platform of the vendor’s choosing. Updates and bug fixes are deployed in minutes."
The only pro i can think of is that you can access the software from anywhere you are. The cons are that wouldn't it be using browser (plugins such as flash and java) and internet speed instead of the actual computer's specs? So it may cause the browser to crash if there was a big program online such as Photoshop or any other program with a verity of options and tools that render as well?
I do agree with the pro here is being able to access the software from anywhere you are. For example, for the xbox 360 i can save my save files in the cloud if my xbox would ever to break down and never to work i can be able to save my files to another system without losing it.
ReplyDeletelol. those ads and pop-up is how the website make money. Its annoying i agree. Also cloud computing is nice because you can access the softwares on demand.
ReplyDeleteThe pro is spot on. However, I would add to your con list. The competition for different computers will become irrelevant. If nothing but internet speeds matter, then why wouldn't you buy the cheapest computer with wifi access. I think that this is a step back. However, I don't believe that the cloud is a bad idea. I honestly think that it is a great step forward. We just have to figure out how to balance out the Cloud with the local programs. Also, the pop ups and ads are ways that the websites generate money since a lot are relying on donations.
ReplyDeletepop up and the Advertisement are being a big benefit to the websites such a you tube, you have a advertise on each video before it starts.
