The basic concept is that both hardware and software exist on the Internet rather than on a specific computer.

This will come to be more and more common. It can change how we do things. Computers will be different. The cost of hardware and software will change. Operating Systems may be able to be in the cloud (Google Chrome OS is a cloud Operating System). In the past, users have worked on their data on their local computer. The smart ones have also made backups on the web, thus having an extra preservation copy. | This will come to be more and more common. It can change how we do things. Computers will be different.
