Some times you said to be work job juggling between work
and a family or between jobs. For tech addicts, there's juggling of a different
kind. You flip out your Apple iPod when you want to listen to your favorite
Adele track. Your turn to your latest Android upgraded smart mobile phone to
share that hilarious joke with your best friend or family friends. And, at the
end of the day, you probably put on your geeky glasses and power on your
monochromatic Kindle to finish the last bits of that Holmes' mystery you
started reading last night. As far as media consumption is concerned we have certainly
come a long way since just reading the morning news paper and watching the
Sunday morning Durdarson Chitrahaar on TV. We are becoming increasingly hungry
for any kind of information, knowledge or entertainment that comes our way. But
do we really need as many devices to be clued in to what goes on around the
world? Or can we just turn to the cloud?
Software like iCloud (cloud computing) or even Amazon tablet
Kindle let you access your data across platforms, as long as you are connected
to the Internet. Music services like Grooveshark, SoundCloud or even Google
Music (which is yet to make its debut in India) take away your Mp3 Music blues
and stack it away in the Cloud (cloud computing). More and more people are
switching to Google Documents or `Documents To Go` (cloud computing) to save
themselves the hassle of worrying about which format their Microsoft INC Office
Word Document is saved as and whether it'll be compatible with the earlier
versions. It's not just businesses but individuals who are enthusiastically
opting for the cloud (cloud computing) and this reflects in companies starting
to launch everything cloud-enabled (cloud computing) - from printers to cameras
to storage devices. If they've jumped onto the bandwagon, what are you waiting
for?
