Will cloud computing kill grid computing? No!

Is cloud computing just an avatar of grid computing? Yes and No

In the early stage of grid computing, its promoters (esp. I. Foster) claimed that it would dramatically change the society and its development, both in its economic and social dimensions

• Analogy with previous networks which shaped the development of the US: railways, telephone, electricity, roads, bank networks
• Argue for similar characteristics and issues: intrinsic complexity, use of/need for standards, distribution, integration (large/small)
