Certainly the Internet has had more impact on providing “information on demand” than anything else in the history of mankind, and genealogy has ridden this wave by providing online access to records. Now, a new use of the Internet is quickly forming that will significantly impact the way we live. “Cloud Computing” promises a new paradigm of Internet use. This presentation will demonstrate what “cloud computing” is, explore the potential impact of “cloud computing” on our lives, and look at what the future holds for doing “genealogy in the cloud.” | Certainly the Internet has had more impact on providing “information on demand” than anything else in the history of mankind, and genealogy has ridden this wave by providing online access to records.

Imagine a place where data and expertise are shared to create something grander than one person can provide on his or her own. Imagine a world where, if you are stuck on a tough research problem and don’t know where to look, an expert was willing to help you solve the puzzle within seconds. Imagine an important genealogical document that needs to be translated from Old English text and someone with that skill and desire to share is there to translate it for you, right now in real time. Imagine getting expert answers to any question you might have. Imagine being able to have access to a catalog of all the world's genealogical information at your fingertips. This is only the beginning. And your imagination, actually your collective imagination, is the only limit. | Imagine a place where data and expertise are shared to create something grander than one person can provide on his or her own.
