Cloud computing is everywhere in our world now, when you are able to see this article. It's now stored in some harddrive, in the massive Google blogger distributed system, and when you request it (by a mouse click on the article title or link), it's then retrieved by some hash values and locate that particular harddrive which maybe in US, China, or Eu, and display on your browser in some other place on this planet.
Amazing, right?
Lots of modern information technologies rely on this mechanism and architecture, and meanwhile, people are more likely and happier to generate their word bytes on the cloud.
In the future, maybe less than 10 years, PC will disappear and fade out like some old-fashioned tech. Those ISP companies like TimeWarner, AT&T, would just provide you a FREE simple "device" like a light weight netbook, (maybe you need to purchase your own screen for <200$ ) and with a cable, for a 50$/month contract. High performance CPU like the one you use to fire these web surfing, will only remain in labs or mainframes. All computation demanding app will be moved into the clouds, and you won't know your piece of blog sit where, one thing you would be sure is, whenever you retrieve it, it would come to you.
