Something new, something old, something cloud.....

here's a link to another article about the 'new' approach to computing - CLOUD COMPUTING! http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/aug2008/tc2008082_445669.htm

WOW! Software leasing, consumption based computing, ASP, etc.....sorry, it's been around for a while - and if you broaden the definition just a bit, it includes any web site....if anything, I think this is a sign that innovation in IT is slowing dramatically down. Where - or more importantly what - is Web 3.0? Why isn't mobile internet the norm instead of still a nice to have? Why is security still lagging? Hopefully, after summer break the deep thinkers will be back in innovation mode and start churning out some new ideas (what comes after blogging, twitter, wiki's and other aging thoughts?)
