The read aloud cloud : an innocent's guide to the tech inside

Forrest Brazeal (Author, Artist)
What is the cloud ? Is it here or there? Should it be allowed? Should I even care? Have you ever imagined the internet as a giant Rube Goldberg machine? Or the fast-evolving cloud computing space as a literal jungle filled with prehistoric beasts? Does a data breach look like a neo-noir nightmare full of turned-up coat collars and rain-soaked alleys? Wouldn t all these vital concepts be easier to understand if they looked as interesting as they are? And wouldn t they be more memorable if we could explain them in rhyme? Whether you re a kid or an adult, the answer is: YES! The medicine in this spoonful of sugar is a sneaky-informative tour through the past, present and future of cloud computing, from mainframes to serverless and from the Internet of Things to artificial intelligence
