Cloud computing is Not Equal to the Future of Computing. Cloud Computing is an marketing term which is closer to the technology of grid computing since decades. It is important to pay attention to the wordings, alerts of Richard M. Stallman – the Godfather of Free Software Movement. “Careless Computing” – this is what Richard M. Stallman considers Cloud Computing to be. You can read the reasonings :

Ryan Paul (not the person who is US Representative for Wisconsin’s 1st congressional district, he is / was an hired writer claimed to be “Open Source Supporter”). He says – “Why Stallman is wrong when he calls cloud computing stupid”. Ryan Paul is possibly a big person with 8K followers (hah ?) with the following big contributions for ‘Open Source’ :

It looks great when a profile is claiming to be “Open Source Supporter” and attending this :

Avoid this kind of writings. These are not the authors like Darren Rowse or Brian Clark. They are real person with real works. There is not much conflict in their own sayings. The both names are cited as well known.
Cloud computing provides the way use huge memory and computational resources of the computers and servers linked by a network such as the Internet. Users of the cloud can use it knowing the risks of well known security issues with cloud computing, legal issues of cloud computing – only to save money. In own setup, the cost would go very high. As an user that is our usage. As an tutorial provider, we will give you the ways to save money to develop something. Be it on free PaaS or on IaaS.
Cloud computing is Not Equal to the Future of Computing : it is a marketable product
The entire computing power and memory is offered as a service to customers by a business model that is announced by some professionals as the ultimate stage of industrialization of the data centers. Just like the electrical power a century ago, the computing power and storage of information is available for consumption by anyone on need. Therefore, companies would no longer need to own servers but entrust this resource to ensure their computing power and storage on demand – this is their way of marketing.
There are data which better not to be shared, whatever the software level layer is of. Cloud Computing companies often avoids the word virtualization – that is basically the enabling technology. The reason is, an average user will understand it very fast that a VPS with enough RAM and computing power has not much difference with a Cloud VPS from end users’ point.
Again, Cloud computing is Not Equal to the Future of Computing
Cloud computing is Not Equal to the Future of Computing. There is no specific hardware or protocol technologies exist that is only for Cloud Computing. Whether organic computing like DNA Computing will be the future, that is an academic debate.
