The future

I have been fascinated for a while now about the future of computing. The idea of cloud computing has been popping up in more and more places. Google Docs once seemed such a silly idea, but quickly became more and more common. Google apps started to gain steam, Amazon began offering their pay-as-you-use cloud computing services, & just recently Dropbox just went public. The idea of one computer, under your roof, holding all of your data is becoming more and more archaic. It seems to me that sooner than anyone would guess, things like operating systems and local programs will become another nostalgic memory. Computers may be nothing more than a device to connect to the internet and instead of buying programs, we will be renting.

And now, Adobe has joined the ranks of cloud computing with their launch of photoshop.com


It is not nearly as robust as the locally installed photoshop program is...YET, but it won't be long.
