Cloud computing seems like the more economically viable future of internet servers. I definitely see the benefits and think the IT world will continue to progress in such a direction. it particularly seems useful in a library because of problems dealing with a magnitude of interested parties. I never knew how much I already depended on it in daily life (SAAS).

This video is a much better explanation. I understand the different divisions and types much better and see how it is so much more conveneiet for the person managing "gogle maps" for instance. Companies such as the aforementioned need such capabilites or they would require a much larger evaluative/tracking client staff.

This article summarizes the ways in wich libraries are percieved as "no longer useful" or "obsolete". These are the same beliefs I have been trained during the school year to combat. it is apparent that liraries are no longer repositories of informaiton, but filters and qualit inspectors of that information. I feel that libraries are adequately prepared for a shift that is already well underway.
Muddiest Point: Regarding concepts such as ones in the "nowhere to hide" literature and class discussion, what is a souce that provides some "dos and don'ts" for protecting private information. This should have a definitive guide. it would easily be a "most accesed" document if it were tracked.

I'm not sure the article shows the ways in which libraries are perceived to be obsolete but some things libraries/librarians will be forced to concentrate on if they want to remain useful.
