I think that both the kindle and the book are great technologies. Books are a nice thing to have, but I think a lot of people are forgetting that you have to actually go out to get them. A Kindle offers a very convenient way to get books for cheap. I got my dad a kindle for christmas last year and he became an absolute reading maniac. He used to read at least on book a week and not its about twice as many.

Back to the original topic: The cloud is the present. We have been living with cloud technology for years and it has only started to appear in advertising. In the future, the cloud thing will continue but I also think that a lot of software will move to large supercomputing arrays which we will access over the internet from our tiny computers (like phones).
