This document discusses the concept of cloud computing. It argues that cloud computing offers potential benefits like social inclusion, reduced waste, and being inherently green. However, some see cloud computing as imposing performance penalties, reducing security, and requiring large investments. The document also notes that the expectations of new workforce entrants who have grown up with the internet are very different than what traditional IT departments provide. Finally, it suggests that cloud computing could change everything if it delivers reliability, resilience, connectivity, efficiency and other benefits at a very low cost.
