Last week I explained the ‘iffy’ side to cloud computing. This week I want to talk about the good side of it. Mind you, for a new technology to mature it is always useful to see both sides to its adoption and the more it is discussed and addressed the better the technology it gets. Personally, I think cloud computing is well on its way to becoming a steady platform for future applications.
Lower computer costs. For the average PC user, this is music to their ears! You don’t need a high-powered and high-priced computer to run cloud computings web-based applications. Since applications run in the cloud, not on the desktop PC, your desktop PC doesn’t need the processing power or hard disk space demanded by traditional desktop software.

Move to a portable device, and your apps and docs are still available. There’s no need to buy a special version of a program for a particular device, or to save your document in a device-specific format. Your docs and their apps are the same no matter what computer or other device you’re using.
