Batman and Cloud Computing?!!?!?

With a clear head (metaphorically :P ) we began our basic Mind  mapping about the relation of collaborative work with cloud computing.

We from our hunter gatherer times had been collaborative as such…So how does cloud computing come into the picture?
The answer was already with us….OPTIMIZATION!!

So in the contemporary times be it meetings, gatherings, conferences, lectures, outings or any form of social interaction (which is a two way process) involves a joint effort implies it’s a collaboration. With advent of internet we became “informavores” craving for information using tools likes mobile devices, touch pads, Laptops/PCs and other gadgets with the link established by data cables, wireless devices like Bluetooth, wifi, infrared, near field  communication, telecom services or all-in-all cloud computing.

Team Vision....at desk!

 So what’s the connection with the cloud? We could relate to the implications of cloud computing by recollecting the scene from the movie ”The Dark Knight” where Batman uses mobile phones of all the citizens to make a virtual map tracking the Joker.

Although for now this is fiction, cloud computing enables us to strengthen our already existing network technically called as its Infrastructure (virtual memory). Its remaining other two aspects being sharing and synchronizing which from our analogy is self-explanatory.

Advantages!?
Obviously speed, scalability, optimization and is economical.

Collaborative work necessitates interaction, which could be one to one or many and vice versa. It could also be direct or indirect in the sense of physically involving actions like talking, touch, gestures and vision or indirect through the internet. This could involve sharing and exchange of information like pictures, media files, documents, ebooks etc. via email, blogging, social networks, Bluetooth etc or all-in-all through cloud computing networks.
