The web 2.o article for last nights reading was interesting, yet I found it horribly lacking. I'm under the impression that we should share an opinion with our blog post. However, I would rather spread a commonly accepted aspect of the web that was lacked from the reading.
If I had to inject my opinion, I would say that I consider cloud based computing an almost mandatory bullet point for the Web 2.0 check list. For those who are not familiar with the aspect, see this wiki on how it will change your Internet. -Basically, it means that information and data will be stored remotely. So, you can see an example of this with classic web mail. You never download your mail, and its all stored in the 'cloud' that is the internet. Google (or whoever) holds all of your data and then simply shows you. But this can be taken to a whole new level, imagine rendering and doing processing that only a SUPER powerful computer could do, you couldn't afford it, but you could have it pumped back to you via your broadband. You could receive images or (insert special complicated geek things here) from that "cloud" that you normally can not achieve.
With this post, I aim to simply correct and bring to attention that slip in the article. THis si something that will be dominating our internetz in the coming years.
Yes, good point. And it's not really brought up in the Web 2.0 update. So please chime in tomorrow about how it fits in to the internet of things.
