Keep blathering, lmckenzie. It's an interesting topic.

I don't myself believe bandwidth will manage to keep up with demand. 6 billion mobile subscriptions -- and more and more people being encouraged to watch movies on their phones; streaming radio and video becoming a replacement for cable TV; Skype and even things like Google hangouts replacing traditional phone calls...

When it comes to production work in the cloud, I'm having trouble imagining it. For instance, all the times I've worked on tweaking the designs of websites, I never found it more convenient to upload my incremental changes to a remote host than to work on a local webserver and then upload the finished product. Are there people who do find working remotely to be more convenient?

As for security, it amazes me, for example, how stupid -- scratch that -- how inconsistent lawyers can be about this. I mean, some of them worry enough about leaks to have policies prohibiting office employees from using their own devices on the network, while at the same time they have no problem routinely sending/receiving legal correspondence and documents via unencrypted email. Perhaps this shouldn't bug me, but for some reason it does.
