Why Cloud Computing May Not Be All It’s Cracked Up to Be

The advantages of the cloud have been widely pushed over the past couple of years. But is it really all that? Jason Scott, a digital historian and archivist, doesn’t believe that it is. However, he’s not against the cloud itself, but instead is against the term and the use of the term.

Scott told WebProNews that he believes the cloud phenomenon that is currently happening is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. The term is used in so many different contexts that its real definition is blurred.

As a historian, he is working to clearly define and provide proof for what the cloud is and what it’s not. Scott also told us that individuals and businesses should be proactive in understanding the truth about it.
