How cloud computing affects a layman

With all services on the internet going to cloud, a layman is bound to come across the term and wonder how the hell would that affect me, I am happy as long as you give me cheap and reliable service.

The reason that services are moving to cloud to ensure that they can scale easily when their customer increase. Scaling simply implies to increasing resources when customers or traffic increases. They start with minimal infra hence keeping their costs low and as their services become popular they add more infrastructure. By doing this they ensure that costs are minimum without compromising in the reliability.

So the reason the companies are going to cloud boils down to the simple concern a person will have “affordable” and “reliable” service. Not saying that companies just go to cloud hosting just to reduce cost, some requirements like adhoc computations, date warehousing etc the companies use resources on the internet.

Cloud provides companies with the liberty of maintaining their server infrastructure on the fly. They can start and shut servers as per their requirement hence maintaining their server budget and giving the benefit to the user.

The power of idea

The power of an idea is what changes life.

Eventually all the experience, all the knowledge and all the money comes down to what IDEA you got and on what you are devoting your time. One unique idea can change life, yours and all the people who are touched by the idea.

Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook with an idea, Personalization and Explicity in Social Media.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin revolutionized the internet with their one idea “GOOGLE”

Steve Jobs got the idea of creating a mouse based OS after looking at XeroxLabs hence working on MAC.

Bill Gates who shared the idea with Steve Jobs created WINDOWS (and causing a rift between Jobs & Gates).

Drew Houston got the idea of Dropbox while travelling in a train and literally started coding at a train station.

Life is changed first by the IDEA, then Knowledge and then Money.

How to get a great IDEA  ? Idea comes from real life scenario’s, experiences, knowledge and sometime money and that’s the irony.

#include <stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

#define IN 1  //inside a word

main ()

{

int nl, nw, nc, state; //nl is number of line, nw for words and nc for characters

char c;

state = OUT;

nl=nw=nc=0; //initializing to 0

while ((c =getchar()) != EOF) // EOF is a character after pressing CTR+Z

{

++nc; //incrementing number of characters

if (c == ‘\n’)

++nl; //incrementing number of lines

if(c==’ ‘|| c==’\n’ ||c==’\t’)

state=IN; // changing state to inside word

if(state==IN) {

state=OUT; //changing state to outside

++nw; //incrementing number of words

}

}
