Cloud Computing

Dr. John McCarthy is known as the father of cloud computing .For more than half a century, that cloud computing has been around, it has been called by many names such as utility computing, time share, thin client, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc. Throughout the years, the concept been advanced, repackaged and re-purposed for as long as computer connectivity has existed. Here are some valuable words from two of the six fathers of cloud computing.

Dr. John McCarthy's opinion regarding the cloud utility of computers?

"Computing may someday be organized as a public utility, just as the telephone system is a public utility. Each subscriber needs to pay only for the capacity he actually uses, but he has access to all programming languages characteristic of a very large system. The computer utility could become the basis of a new and important industry." 
McCarthy's vision of the computing network to come was mainframe-based in a way that somewhat missed the bull's eye, but hit the right target, regardless of the technology's name.
"We keep inventing new names for timesharing it came to be called servers. Now we call it cloud computing. That is still just time-sharing."
McCarthy's concept of the rise of cloud computing wasn't perfect, he shortchanged the value of the personal computer, but his implementation of timesharing set a course for cloud computing, which is only just being realized.
What did Reuven Cohen have to say about advancements in computing?
"You must adapt or die," he declared bluntly in a 2012 blog post, regarding the current cloud transformation in IT and willingness of IT to adapt in general. Cohen, was a one-man-IT/PR firmwhofounded Enomaly, an early infrastructure-as-a-service offering, later purchased by Virtustream in 2012, where Cohen currently serves as an executive vice president. Cohen's techno-proselytizing, has helped cloud gain acceptance in and out of the IT community.
