When the term web 2.0 came out I hated it. It was just a description for what I was already doing. Similarly I didn't like the term cloud computing at first.
However the thing I have missed is that these terms are useful to explain to users what I am doing. If this is the case then these terms have value.
- ynniv 17y agoIf you watch the video (which is pretty funny, and rather intelligent), his exasperation comes from the popular insistence that "cloud computing" is a new paradigm, and that businesses that don't use "the cloud" will die. To somewhat paraphrase him: "All a cloud is, is computers and network (in terms of technology). In terms of business model, you could say that its rental." Most of computing industry will remain unchanged, except maybe Dell's small business market, some of Microsoft's licensing revenue, and lots of desktop software that would be more productive as a network service.
