say hello to super thin, super cheap, super durable and super long life gadgets...
The razor thin SKIFF e -reader is made possible by the cloud
There are two huge advantages to cloud computing, one of which we can all easily understand - Convenience. Having our data everywhere is great and easier than ever to manage. however, the lesser known benefit is just around the corner and that is cloud processing. Cloud processing means that not only are our files on the cloud, but they are processed on the cloud. our operating system and programs are on the cloud meaning the hard work is done up there and the device you are viewing it from is merely a wireless window/ controller to that data and those programs. what does this mean? this means the birth of super cheap, super thin, super lightweight and super long life devices of all shapes and sizes that you can pick up to match your current need. a product designers dream and with our history behind products such as the SKIFF e-reader (pictured) we are in the perfect place to help you launch your "window to the cloud" device
Our data has already started to migrate to the cloud with movie and music services like xbox and spotify as well as document storage systems like Dropbox and Skydrive although our current systems can be a bit of a mess when it comes to organization due to the many servicse. but what does that mean for the future of product design and what is the next step in cloud computing?
Our cloud maps are becoming ever more complex
Removing the heavy lifting from our gadgets means we can start to have some fun with the flexibility (literally)
