Presentation summary on the book: The Big Switch by Nicholas Carr. Summary goes through the history of electricity and technology. Cloud Computing is discussed in relevance to how it would affect IT and business and specially how it would affect PPR Healthcare Staffing.
3. THE PREMISE The IT Industry is now in a huge paradigmshift where companies will move from expensiveITprofessional staff and infrastructure, to smaller IT staffs and getting their services across the Internet from large providers like Google, Microsoft,etc. This is called “cloud computing.

Grace:This book predicts that IT will become a utility like electricity and cable.
Grace:How it would work. We are going to tell you how we got to this point, what this would mean for the business world and IT and specifically what it would mean for PPR.
GRACE: The book begins with the invention of the light blub and the evolutionary process of electricity and computers over the last century.
GRACE: “A hundred years ago, companies stopped generating their own power with steam engines and dynamos and plugged into the newly built electric grid. The cheap power pumped out by electric utilities didn’t just change how businesses operate. It set off a chain reaction of economic and social transformations that brought the modern world into existence.
GRACEOver time there was a progressions from stand-alone electrical systems to an electrical grid/ utility. Today, a similar revolution is under way. Hooked up to the Internet’s global computing grid, massive information- processing plants have begun pumping data and software code into our homes and businesses. This time, it’s computing that’s turning into a utility.”

BILL: Herman Hollerith invented the first computer. This Hollerith punch card machine was used in 1890 to calculate US census.
BILL: Howard Aiken the inventor of the first calculating machine (computer) said in 1944 that he believed that the country would need no more than a ½ dozen computers needed in the US, and they would be used mainly for military and scientific research.
BILLFrom the mainframe where there were data entry terminals to stand-alone computers where the processing power was brought to the home and office, used for data manipulation and storage.
BILLComputer networking actually began coming into play in the mid 1960’s and has evolved to what we have today. The Internet came into existence in the early 1990’s and has evolved into what we have today. From dial-up using modems to High-speed broadband and DSL.
Bill: Eric Schmidt is an engineer, Chairman and CEO of Google Inc. and a member of the Board of Directors of Apple Inc.1993 he was working at Sun Microsystems. Google started in 1998 and Schmidt joined Google in 2001.
GRACE: Google created “Design, LLC” to keep the purchasing of the land on the banks of the Columbia River in Oregon… This data center, house thousands of computer that run applications. 130 miles north of where Microsoft is building a plantGoogle Chrome Operating System.

GRACE:Advantages: reduced checkout time because stores are often able to efficiently run two to six self checkout units where it normally would have had one cashier. Some customers appreciate the ability to not have to deal with anyone. Self checkout may create an illusion of privacy and anonymity, DisAdvantages: An inexperienced customer can cause the same sort of delays as an inexperienced cashier on a conventional register.Self-checkout is vulnerable to some shoplifting techniques. In 2007, a man was charged with replacing the tag of a plasma TV with a $4.88 DVD, and trying to purchase it through self-checkout.[5]

BILL:Direct-link between the brain and the internet should become a reality by 2020. At that point we will be able to react directly with computers by merely thinking.
