The CTO roundtable on cloud computing article in a past issue of CACM made me start thinking about what cloud computing really means for HCI and how people will interact with information in the future.
In my opinion, the move of our lives, information, personal, private, to cloud computing is slowly becoming inevitable. With this move, apps that create a meaningful connections within this cloud will be essential in allowing people to grasp the full power of information, leading to greater expansion of cloud information synthesis. More emphasis, in my opinion, will need to be placed in apps that can synthesize the users vast repository of information and return the user with a smaller subset of useful information to make choices with.
