More than one cloud in the sky
Picture credit: Bettina Tizzy
Much is spoken and written about “Cloud computing” - all with grave authority, as if the term can yet be clearly defined.
As with meteorological clouds, logical clouds will take a variety of different shapes and properties.
So, until we develop a suitable taxonomy, ‘Cloud computing’ must remain nebulous (sic).

Hi Colin,
The marketing perspective is to keep it nebulous. They don’t know what they are selling (but they need to sell) and who is buying don’t know what is buying… (it seems Confucius - Lun Yu -, but it isn’t).
Keeping the focus on the “whether”: with the current global warming (economical), the climate change became more complex and unpredictable, so cloudy times will be postponed and people will prefer blue sky, with the “foot on the ground”.
Cheers,
Mario
very punny, Mario. Many thanks for your input.
