The Impact Of Technology On The Economy

The focus of cloud computing is providing with scalable and a cheap on-demand computing infrastructure with a good quality of service levels. The process of the cloud computing involves a set of network enabled services that can be accessed in a simple and general way. Cloud computing provides with a unique value proposition for any organization to outsource their information and communication technology infrastructure. Moreover, the concept itself provides with a value proposition for an organization as using the cloud saves on cost, resources, and staff, and business opportunities for the organization (Katzan). An extensive connectivity of

Cloud computing has set a trend in the information technology arena that has sparked the interest of all who utilize the internet on purpose and unsuspectingly. Initially, the primary purpose of cloud computing was to provide a centralized data bank that organizations could use for quick data access. Its use has been quickly adapted, however, beyond business use to become the first option for personal use. The advantages and disadvantages of implementing such a shift from business to personal are varied, yet, statistically, according to the CISCO Global Cloud Index: Forecast and Methodology, 2014-2019 White Paper, its public use is on the rise. The report notes that “by 2019, 56 percent of the cloud workloads will be in public cloud data centers, up from 30 percent in 2014 and by 2019, 44 percent of the cloud workloads will be in private cloud data centers, down from 70 percent in 2014”. Though disadvantages with regard to data security is prominent, users have deemed that its implementation will still promote greater benefits than loss.

Technology continues to influence the direction taken by business entities in an apparent attempt to gain competitive advantage over the rest of its direct competitors. One of the innovations that best embodies the desire to gain an advantage over direct competitors is through the use of cloud computing to improve efficiency and effectiveness in customer satisfaction. Cloud computing essentially involves using a network stemming from remote servers on the internet to process and disseminate data. Cloud computing uses remote network servers instead of a personal computer or a local server and it use also includes managing and storing data for a variety of purposes that a business chooses to engage in at its pleasure (Armbrust 55). Although

Whether it’s called Cloud Computing or On-demand Computing, Software as a Service, or the Internet as Platform, the common element is a shift in the geography of computation. When you create a spreadsheet with the Google Docs service, major components of the software reside on unseen computers, whereabouts unknown, possibly scattered across continents. This affects all levels of the computational ecosystem, from casual user to software developer, IT manager, even hardware manufacturer. Recently, a lot of vendors have started talking about “cloud computing” in their marketing materials. Citing a research published by Merrill Lynch entitled “The Cloud Wars: $100+ billion at stake,” Merrill Lynch has estimated a $160- billion addressable market opportunity, including $95- billion in business and productivity applications, and another $65-billion in online advertising for Cloud Computing. But the main question is whether the users are ready to give up using services on their local machines and shift to the Cloud since shifting to cloud computing has both advantages and disadvantages for all possible users; nevertheless, they may have different level of importance for different users

The article begins with an example of how technology has evolved. Before the 1970s, gas stations had to hire employees to pump gas for customers. Today there are over 168,000 gas stations in the United States and very few of these stations hire attendants to pump gas. Maney then explores the true economic impact of the automation. For instance, the number of men with college degrees doubled and the number of women with college degrees quadrupled between 1970 and 2015. With more educated people in the workforce, fewer people are seeking unskilled jobs liked gas station attendants. Instead, they work for higher paying jobs and adding more value to society and the economy. Maney then describes some of the other benefits of automation,

Cloud computing is a shift in a new way of thinking that believes in data sharing & computations over a cloud or network of potential nodes This network consists of data centers, computers, and web services in order to make the cloud work. An application based on such clouds is taken as a cloud application. Cost Efficient: , in conjunction with the Manchester Business School and Vanson Bourne recently conducted a survey of 1,300 companies in the U.K. and U.S., supplemented by qualitative telephone interviews by the Manchester Business School with companies that used the cloud during December 2012 and January 2013.study found that 88 percent of cloud users pointed to cost savings and 56 percent of respondents agreed that cloud services have helped them boost profits.

Cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources, not a new technology. Computing services ranging from data storage and processing to software, such as email handling, are now available instantly, commitment-free and on-demand. Since we are in a time of belt-tightening, this new economic model for computing has found fertile ground and is seeing massive global investment. According to IDC’s analysis, the worldwide forecast for cloud services in 2009 will be in the order of $17.4bn1. The estimation for 2013 amounts to $44.2bn, with the European market ranging from €971m in 2008 to €6,005m in 2013 2. The key conclusion of ENISA’s 2009 paper on Cloud

Undeniably, the internet technology grows exponentially since its inception. Currently, a new "trend" is emerging in the world of IT (Information Technology and Communication), this is cloud computing. This technology, based on the WEB 2.0, provides opportunities for companies to reduce operating costs by their software applications online. Various vendors like Google, Amazon, and IBM offer a wide range of cloud computing services (Schroth, 2007). This technology has just hatched, it is at the beginning of its operations but already several major players mentioned above adopt their own pioneering strategies that determine the use of cloud computing companies wishing to invest.

Services such as, data storage and security, are provided by cloud computing over the internet. In cloud computing, users can pay for what they consume (Bisong & Rahman, An Overview of the Securtiy Concerns in Enterprise Cloud Computing, 2011). Cloud computing is an emerging information technology, which can make it easier for the users to manage their data. Cloud computing allows businesses to expand as new cloud-based models are being discussed and implemented as solutions (Bamiah & Brohi, 2011).

What precisely is Cloud Computing? And why are so many organizations switching to this new phenomenon? Cloud computing is defined as “the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a metered service over a network, typically the Internet” (Wikipedia). My goal in this paper is to discuss what exactly cloud computing is and how it is affecting how businesses work now. I will be discussing the top leading groups that have administered and executed “the cloud” in their daily routines for successful business. I also will be focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing and how it can be beneficial

The term technology means the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes mainly in an industry. The term Innovation is the introduction of something new. When combining these two terms together as one it is defined as an accord of new products and processes that hold significant technological changes of products and processes. This is when an innovation has been implemented if it has been introduced on the market. Technology has such a tremendous impact on today’s society because the pace of life has increased and without it that would not have been possible. Travel is fast, action is quick, communication is rapid and movement is easy. Things in the era when there was no technology took hours to complete maybe even days but now things can happen instantly. Technology has made societies needs met at greater ease and our standard of living has increased. Not only has it brought advancements in the industrial aspect it has also brought forth advancements in architecture, engineering, agriculture and even businesses. This is significantly important because technology is creating more job opportunities than ever before, allowing business to grow and gain more revenue.

Cloud computing has proven that it is a technology that is here to stay and has shown to be a powerful game changer in modern business. It is a key component in allowing a organization to operate in ways never before imagined; however, with any new technology it is important to be educated about the technology and situation to be able to effectively leverage for an advantage. Through discussion of the technology, combined with potential security issues, strengths and weaknesses, a more thorough understanding of cloud computer

Cloud computing is becoming the most popular topic in the realm of Information technology. Its popularity stems from the ability to allow with limited knowledge, to be able to access their information anytime and anywhere while reducing overhead and costs. Additionally, reduces the need for backups; this is because backups are done automatically, between different servers in the “cloud”. Even with the obscurity, cloud computing is really just a way to outsource computing resources, and have a third party maintain and upgrade them. Allowing companies to avoid the upfront investment in hardware and labor. Even though cloud computing may seem like a silver bullet to a company, cloud computing presents a whole new set of very serious risks

Cloud computing has quickly become a popular model where computing resources are made available on-demand to the user. The unique capabilities of cloud computing has created new opportunities for IT and businesses. Cloud computing uses the Internet for delivery of cloud storage capabilities as a service to any users. Through the use of cloud computing we can access virtually anything that we want from almost anywhere to almost any computer without worrying about anything such as management, cost, storage, etc. In this paper, we provide the reasons for the innovation of cloud computing, go over several cloud service and deployment models. It also explores the many benefits of cloud computing over the traditional service

One of the most interesting factors of social transformations in the modern post- industrial society is the widespread influence of modern information technologies on society. There is no precise opinion about positive or negative effects of technologies on the development of society. It mostly depends on the people, who use them, and what purposes they pursue.
