TO THE CLOUD
- Share to:
The Internet had been around for a while when on July 5, 1993, the New Yorker magazine featured a cartoon that, in the minds of some, marked its real arrival. “On the Internet,” says the dog at the computer screen to his canine friend, “nobody knows you’re a dog.” I knew it was time to write this book when I woke up one morning, downloaded my digital edition of the October 8, 2012, New Yorker, and came across a new version of a classic cartoon. A little boy looks up at his teacher and, with hope and trepidation, pleads his case: “The cloud ate my homework.” Okay, perhaps not everyone got the joke, but most readers would have some conception of the cloud as the place where data lives until it is called up on the computer, tablet, or smart phone—or, in the case of a malfunction, the place where data goes to die. This book explains what little Johnny is talking about and why it is important. For better or for worse, the cloud has arrived.
