Scandinavian Developer Conference 2011

October 27th, 2011 by Andreas Ahlund

Last week some of us at Screen Interaction attended the Scandev on tour 2011 conference here in Stockholm.
During the day we got to listen to several inspiring talks where buzzwords like HTML5, Node.JS, Cloud9, and many more were covered.

However, there was one subject that I found particularly interesting, namely cloud-computing.

With cloud computing applications and services will be moved from your computer to the cloud, (i.e. the Internet) and therefore provide endless opportunities when it comes to accessibility and mobility.
You will no more need a heavy and computational powerful device with bad battery time, since the cloud will do the heavy computations for you.

Another benefit is that the cloud could allow products to be available through subscription or charged depending on usage, which is something that can ben very beneficial for individuals and small companies.

Of course not everything about the cloud is fantastic. There are concerns about privacy, security, and what happens if your access to the cloud goes down?

However, I’m positive that those questions will get their answers and that the cloud will be a natural part of our everyday life in a near future!
