Let’s just say right now you are an executive at a large corporation(that sounds cool). And your job is to make sure that all of your employess have the right hardware and software for them to work on their jobs. Well maybe buying for everyone and purchasing all software or software licenses can solve the problem, but maybe it isn’t an efective way. Can you imagine how much money will you spend whenever you hire a new employe ? Yeah you need to buy a new hardware and software or make sure your current software licenses still allows to be used by another user. Lucky for you if your corporation’s pockets are large and aren’t empty, but what if you aren’t that lucky ?
You can relax an breath awile cause there is an alternative way. Instead of installing a suite of software for each computer, you'd only have to load one application. That application would allow workers to log into a Web-based service which hosts all the programs the user would need for his or her job. Remote machines owned by another company would run everything from e-mail to word processing to complex data analysis programs. That’s called Cloud computing, and guess what. . . . it’s gonna safe alot of box :D
In a cloud computing system, there's a significant workload shift. Local computers no longer have to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to running applications. The network of computers that make up the cloud handles them instead. Hardware and software demands on the user's side decrease. The only thing the user's computer needs to be able to run is the cloud computing system's interface software, which is a simple Web browser and the cloud's network takes care of the rest.
There is a good chance for you to have some experience with cloud computing, if you already have an e-mail account with a Web-based e-mail service like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mai, Gmail, etc. All you need to do is to log in to Web E-mail account, and run the software you like while the oftware and storage for your account doesn't exist on your computer . . . it's on the service's computer cloud.

My Opinion :
Gaming World
I guess Cloud computing will be a new breakthrough in computing. It will efected many ‘worlds’, let’s just say one of them like Gaming world. Cloud computing really makes a new taste in gaming world. These days, we can just play a video game without having it installed in your computer. Just browse to a specific web(ex/ Ninjakita), log in and play it. And the best part is. . . it’s free :D
Have you ever dream to play the newest game that support newest DirectX (which mean there will be awesome graphics)in your “intel atom netbook” ? well maybe in the future that can happen by cloud computing. This will be good “intel atom netbook” user but it will be “kick in the ass” for Nividia and ATI.
Changing the way of the world
Cloud computing may has a chance to change the way of the world in the future. Maybe people don’t need to buy software or software licenses like these days, people just need to create an ID, log in to the web and uses the software you need. There will be two kinds of ID, Free ID for Trial version or light version and a payment ID for Full version of the software. This maybe good for software developer. No more hacked software.
