Kids and Clouds

There hasn’t been a whole lot said or written about the Cloud and it’s impact on the Gen “Y” crowd which is a bit surprising to me.

My whole orientation to the Cloud started with my desire to take up a hobby with my son about 5 years ago which caused us to seek out what was then the brand gaming space genre of MMPORG (massive multi player online role playing games), starting with Star Wars Galaxy and then subsequently World of Warcraft.

It was then that I realized that the internet or Cloud, had come of age, behaving as one large computer, servicing millions of simultaneous world wide Gen Yrs, playing with a highly intuitive, goal seeking, problem solving, point and click based toolset. I thought immediately, "Gee, what a great way for a business to function as well."

Well now these kids are growing up. And moving into the workplace. Unlike the fuddy duddies who preceded them, they aren’t intimidated by modern computing systems, in fact they consider them to be an essential ingredient.

Suffice it to say, any business owner who hasn't yet recognized that there will soon be a correlation between the vitality of modern cloud-based systems and the future employees they’re going to be able to attract, better start taking a much closer look. Top talent will always have a choice about where they work and they won't work for businesses who won't provide systems with modern VITALITY.
