The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013 is starting next week and cloud computing is on the agenda. You can be sure that a technology has moved out of the hype cycle and into everyday use when it shows up at a show like CES, known more for the latest TVs and phones than computing infrastructure. People don’t really need to talk about cloud any more; it’s just there, and we are using it.
Of course there will always be a place for a little more talk, and I’ll be doing some of this myself as part of the CES panel “Privacy and Security in the Cloud”. This discussion takes place Monday Jan 7 11:00am-12:00, in LVCC, North Hall N259. The panel is chaired by my good friend Jeremy Geelan, founder of Cloud Computing Expo, who honed his considerable moderation skills at the BBC.
I’m planning on exploring the intersection between the cloud and our increasingly ubiquitous consumer devices. We will highlight the opportunities created by this technological convergence, but we will also consider the implications this has for our personal privacy.
I hope you can join us.
