An unnecessary concept

Cloud Growth Slowdown Looms, Suggesting Tech Boom Near Peak
The staggering growth of cloud computing can’t go on forever. And reports from tech companies that make data-center hardware and sell the services suggest the industry’s expansion is cooling.

'Cloud' means not much, mostly a marketing term.   Traversable semantic networks make sense, that is cloud.  What the geeks currently call cloud is another name for client-server.  There is nothing cloudy about it, just another server tech.

Traversable semantic networks are different, all robotic, all peer to peer, almost.  The travelling bots have no idea if they are on a client or server, it all looks the same to them. N ot quite peer to peer as I found out in the join code, one side of the semantic network will have some dominance over the other.  That is why we do research code, a quick way to see if there is a consistent grammar.  IBM's Watson travels a cloud, it is crawling the semantic networks..
