World Wide Web

What does the future of the World Wide Web look like?  What is 'the Cloud'?

I believe the World Wide Web (WWW) isn't going anywhere any time soon.  With the advent of 'the Cloud', WWW is  only going to expand.  From the article "The Windy City Teams with Microsoft on Cloud Strategy"  and also in a previous article "Microsoft Scores A Win For Office 365 With Chicago Deal" the city of Chicago has signed a deal with Microsoft to consolidate its email system to Office365.  From the article "Cloud Computing: As software migrates from local PCs to distant Internet servers, users and developers alike go along for the ride", they say that the isolated computer with its "shrink-wrap" software is still dominating the market because their are still some flaws as stated in the article "‘The Cloud’ Challenges Amazon" where Netflix and Amazon crashed during Christmas, but as they improve people will gradually shift over to the 'Cloud' based computing.

 'the Cloud' is the use of computing resources (hardware & software) that are delivered as a service over a network (usually the internet).
