The Big Switch -- Rewriting the World, from Edison to Google
Nicholas G. Carr
ISBN 978-4-7981-1621-1 (Japanese translation)
I'm not sure if there is an English word "cloudize," but I want to mean making something cloud (computing) by the word.
Here, I wrote above because the Japanese title of the book, "クラウド化する世界", which roughly means "Cloudizing World " which must be named so because of the huge hype on cloud computing.
Car, author of the book, explains a paradigm shift caused by cloud computing by using an analogy of the change before and after diffusion of electricity. Actually there was a change of even concept of values, and it's nostalgia remembering the good old days before the change. For example, reading books under light of an oil ramp in the night was not convenient nor good for eyesight. But, not a small number of people must feel something attractive from that. But, times have changed.
Car says this kind of change is now coming.
BTW, hey Saeki-kun, do you understand what I said at a party after Maru-chan's wedding ceremony? :o

I do agree with all of the concepts you have introduced in your post.
They are very convincing and can definitely work.
Nonetheless, the posts are too short for newbies. Could you please prolong
them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
