New email, new IM, new notification.
i see these things daily, it's part of my life.
This may be good or bad in some cases, but that is not the point now.
The point is that I am very involved with cloud computing.
I have a webmail, a Facebook account, instant Messenger, Skype, and more.
And I like video games, so I have Xbox Live, A Steam account, and other various accounts.
Along with that I have uploaded a couple Youtube videos, feel free to check this one out :D.

I think that my cloud includes a lot of video game save files and information, email, and facebook stuff.
Those are the things i mainly use.
i play a LOT of video games.
As for my web 2.0 experience 5 years ago. I can say i had a webmail, possibly instant messenger, btu that is about it. Now I have soooooo much more.
In the future I am sure i will have faster internet, and be able to do a LOT more with the capabilities of cloud computing. As for now I just have low speed broadband, it limits a lot.
What I would like to see in the future is more things becoming integrated so i do not need 50 different accounts to do everything i want to do.
Thanks for reading!
i look forward to your feedback.

I had dial up until the beginning of this summer, so having broadband seemed so much faster, now I want more speed. The cloud is very addicting because it has something for everyone...like the xbox live thing my niece has that and it sounds cool, just another way to not be alone when you actually are like IMs and Skype.
ReplyDeleteSpeed is essential, Josh could you imagine video games online with no internet speed barriers? Do you feel most people today are annoyed at the service, internet providers, provide? I think mainly it is because of the hefty monthly bill that comes along with it, for instance my service with Charter, it seems like everytime I have something extremely important to do online I have no internet access. Usually when I say something "extremely important" I mean check my facebook or something but who cares they don't know that (laugh out loud).
ReplyDeleteWell Mr. Finnigan...
ReplyDeleteI can say I would LOVE video games without a speed barrier. There would certainly be much less complaining about large amounts of latency or losing because of my internet. At the moment I think the closet thing to that would be a LAN.
And to answer your second question... Yes.
People who constantly use their internet are more likely to run into problems, so their will always be times when the customer is annoyed. It mostly just depends on
A) How often the connection causes a problem
B) If it does what it says it does.
The monthly bill can also be a pain.
In my area I know that what my parents pay would receive internet 500X faster in a more populated area. Though I do like living in a smaller Vermont town, It would be very nice to be able to get the internet that others get. Especially when they had what I have available 10 years ago.

Sometimes I wonder how we can possibly keep all of our passwords and sign on names straight. It is amazing how many we can compile. I had to start using the same one for several things just so i could keep it together. I grouped like type things and use the same sign on and password for each site in the group. groups like email accounts all have the same sign ons and credit card sites and other bills that i pay on line all have one of two sign ons. i was finding that i had to do this becuase i was constantly forgetting them.
ReplyDeleteToday I read about a "Mountain Line" that goes from Chicago to Seattle and is dedicated for Universities, law enforcement, and government agencies. It runs 10x faster than any household internet connection we can get...how about THAT? Wish I could sneak on and just get a hint of what that speed is like!
