Cloud computing

Cloud computing is predicted to be a big topic this year, and so far it has been. This is a development that will shake up the computer world and especially the music industry. One interesting quote: "Throughout the history of technology the slowest industry to keep up has always been the music industry... We all recall the debacle of a response when peer-to-peer sharing first began with Napster in 2001. Eventually file sharing junkies moved on to Torrents where there was no central server for the music industry to attack and still the music industry tried to fight against the current. See this article by Mike Swift.

Cloud computing will also affect other kinds of sharing like file space and who knows what else.
