Cloud Computing
Today's and tomorrow's technologies and their impact on society has been brought by the development of a new technology which is referred as cloud computing. Cloud computing are techniques and common technologies that are used in Information Technology. It means data which are hosted in a given area (center) then it is dismissed without knowing the design of hosting known as utility computing which tends to permits near real time and a policy-based control of the computing resources. This form of technology normally represents different ways of remotely managing computing resources, for example, there is an establishment of an account with the Google group to build and deploy application systems into the cloud. The system are not restricted to being simplistic however, they ought to be since they can be the applications of the web which only requires http services as well as, relational database. This paper therefore analyzes cloud computing in relation to today's and tomorrow's technology and their impact on the society.
Technology in society has been changing every day. About 40 years ago, everyone was hooked to mainframe computers that had dumb terminals, and this is where their data processing was majorly done. As the world revolved, most people moved to decentralized model, which brought high potentials of individuality creativity because of powerful processors which came in. Today, most people have shift to cloud computing, where they use server-side web technologies in checking at their inventories, checking data or information from remote equipment, as well as, conducting commerce. Instead of them using the single frames they use to have, technology has changed and now they use lots of computing hosts which are smaller. By moving the data to the cloud, it becomes easier for people to just access the data that they may need. Cloud computing as a new technology has brought a great impact to today's and tomorrow's society (Ganster, 2009).
Impacts of Cloud Computing in the Society
Privacy: Most people put their data on the cloud and they really don't know if there data are in fact safe on the server given that the data is managed by someone else. Not all people are familiar of how they can secure their home computers. It is also true that, warehouses with large data are exposed more than the home computers viruses. This kind of data storage in the cloud has brought harm than no good to today's society and hopefully it will still affect the society of tomorrow.
Ubiquity: Cloud computing has brought a significant change in the society because, what people could only do on high-end desktops can now be done by use of cell phones or whatever which may be invented in the coming years and everything can conceivably be done today without any problem. Today, people can chat, they can email, they can play games online, they can stream movies and they can also publish documents. All these can be done by upgrading the equipments every year to save money in tomorrow's use, while shifting the market to a successful cloud service provider. Clouds computing also enable people to have access from different places as compared to those days when people were to look for modems modem to use.
Economically: Today, only a few real contenders deliver real internet to services the people. This is because of fewer chokepoints of competition. However, as the needs of the consumers' scales up, no one will be the real provider given that they will not be in a position of knowing how much to charge when they will get the control of the market. This happen same for the software and hardware. If people don't allow the cutting edge phones for example the Apple, then the manufacturers will definitely wither away and cloud providers such as Amazon, software providers and Google will continue to run the server firms.
Waste: The demand for consumer electronics has reached a peak in some countries...
