Isn't the cloud going to solve all of our problems? We just upload all of our software then the last thing to go is us. Then once our consciousness is uploaded we can turn off the old simulation, Earth, then quantum tunnel away into the fabric of the universe and experience the oneness of it all :) Seriously, the cloud has a single point of failure = the cloud :) But maybe you could conduct experiments using the cloud, experiments that might need thousands of computers for a short period of time. Look at Adobe Creative Cloud. Now they have millions of users and are going to try to utilize all that networked human talent. I don't like the cloud that much I did work on mainframes at IBM in the late 80's... and programmed Burroughs... but don't forget, the trend is your friend. Some trends are mistakes but hey whaddya gonna do ah? Maybe somethin' good'll come from it.
