Our office phones were down the other day. Not really a bad thing for me since I don’t use it that often. It is just that our phones are VoIP - in other words, Internet phones. When they are down, it usually means that the Internet is down. I do some work on the Internet so this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Except that our LAN is down as well. This makes for an interesting morning as I have none of my work stored on my PC’s hard drive - it is all on a “common” drive. So, pretty much any work I have to do or could do, is next to impossible because I can’t access the files, answer the emails, research on the web, take care of NetWorks Digital Library… This got me thinking about my friends’ iPhones. If I had an iPhone, would I be able to continue to do my work? I couldn’t access the LAN but I still could take care of NetWorks Digital Library. I could still do my email and if I had documents stored on Google Docs, I could access them. There are many options there. How long is it before we are not tied down to a desk but to the cloud of cloud computing?
