God is on "Cloud Computing"

Sharing His computing technique on human minds has been one of God's improvements on the world of technology.  Just like when we say that "we are all under the same clouds (or sky for that matter)," the world of computers and internet has been affected by this what we called "Cloud Computing."

Let us first define what this term means.  According to Wikipedia, "Cloud Computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid."

So, basically, the cloud is the internet and cloud computing is using the internet for all your computer and application needs without having the need to download or install anything (e.g. google docs,  facebook, twitter, etc).  And you can access all your files and documents anywhere where there is an internet connection.

Watch this video for the basics of cloud computing.



Isn't it amazing that we are using the internet now because of the applications and resources that allows us to make work easier and accessible.  And that knowledge of Cloud computing has been used by God even before this term has been invented.  For example, all of us has different knowledge and skills, we can compare that to web-based applications.  Now using ourselves as a resource to each other, humans created companies or communities to work together and generate cool and useful products.  Making the work easier.

So this cloud computing was a knowledge to God-given for technology to excel and prosper in our time and in our world.  By using now web-based internet resources, we could access our documents, photos, videos online.  Saving up space in your own computers.  Also, generating big savings from businesses who are now not investing on big server space.  It offers a lot of flexibility. 

And what more can we offer back to this knowledge?  Use it for evangelization.. Because of cloud computing, there is a world full of resources out there on the web.  Just by facing your computer and using these resources, you can actually become an online missionary. 

Come on, just like how God is using Cloud Computing through us, we shall use cloud computing through the internet for Him.
