IIHT Partners with Microsoft to launch Learning programs on Cloud
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a network. Parallels to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid, wherein end-users consume power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service. The 3 most important services popularly provided among others by Cloud are SaaS (Software as a Service), IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service)
The concept of cloud computing fills a perpetual need of IT: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities.

We have better Internet connectivity in France than I have at work or home in England. We also have Wifi by the swimming pool. Sadly we have less much reliable electricity.
Note the hi-tech use of pen and paper.

No interactive thingymabobs here, but maybe that's ok since touchscreens weren't quite invented yet.

I sumbled over this wonderfull items of my roots in computing. With the C64 I learned coding (I had no medium to save anything, so every time I started it, I had to built something myself first)
And the Cray was a dream back then. Cray not only made the supercomputers of that time, they made them stylish too. There was one with a watercooled system. They made a well out of it!
