Cloud in the Home

In one of our first ever blogs, back in December 2011, we discussed “What is the Cloud” after holding our first information session with a small group of clients and non-clients. Now, five years on, who would have guessed the technological innovations the cloud would have helped us achieve? From multimillion dollar businesses such as Uber and Airbnb, to internet giant Amazon, it has so far seemed that cloud technology may not just be for big companies with big IT budgets. CTO at Amazon, Werner Vogels, believes that greater competition and consumer power has put cloud technology in the hands of smaller companies and average households. He stated that “almost anything that draws a current will eventually become connected to a network.” You will be able to talk to your appliances to turn them on, much like the movie “Parental Guidance” smart house. This rapidly growing technology will soon be part of everyday households and our everyday lives.
