Summary

The Buzz 1: “Hey, you, Get Off Of My Cloud” (The Rolling Stones). “Clouds in My Coffee” (You’re So Vain lyrics, Carly Simon). “I've looked at clouds from both sides now, From up and down, and still somehow, It's cloud illusions I recall, I really don't know clouds at all” (Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell). The Buzz 2: “One of the interesting things about the cloud is how it has quietly pervaded most people’s lives. Australians have used the cloud for years now and still aren’t aware of it … At this point, the cloud has moved beyond the cool phase and is something everyone is using … Yet research from the Australia Bureau of Statistics noted that less than 20 percent of all companies operating in the country utilised paid cloud services.” (https://www.itnews.com.au/news/abs-issues-first-survey-of-australian-cloud-use-406680) Did you know? All social media applications use the cloud. The cloud has revolutionized how entertainment is delivered to us. Most online retailers use the cloud. Smart watches can store healthcare data in the cloud for your physician to access it. Universities’ online courses store information and lessons in the cloud. Chances are your iPhone photos are stored in the cloud. We’ll ask Sarah Lottman, Chris Aron, Vipin Varappurath, and Madhu Angara, for their take on The Future of The Cloud: What Has It Done For YOU Lately?
