Conclusion
Cloud computing is a new frontier that we have yet to fully explore and develop. It is a new era in computer technology that will dictate the future of computer use. Although there are still a few issues and concerns to work out with cloud computing; one cannot deny its usefulness and effectiveness. Many computer technology companies are beginning to recognize that there is a need for “a new kind of operating system for a new computing world populated not by a single style of desktop computer, but by dozens of different kinds of Internet-connected appliances ranging from smartphones to mini-laptops called netbooks” (Markoff, 2008, para. 2). Cloud computing will continue to grow and expand as well as the need and demand for these types of services. In the same way that computers have changed the way people live life, so too will cloud computing.
