The Perils of Cloud Computing
What would happen if your future arrived too early? If you got the keys to your first car when you were eight? Landed your first big management job at 15?
I’ve been asking those questions while playing with the Cr-48 laptop, the first implementation of Google’s cloud-based Chrome operating system. After a few months with it, I feel like it’s important, but I also think it’s from a future we’re simply not ready for.
