My family and I, along with many other Mac enthusiasts, spent some time yesterday absorbing all the news from the Apple World Wide Developer's Conference in San Francisco. The most compelling was of course Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiling the company's new iCloud service.
We've all been trained over the past 20 years to: "Save your stuff!" over and over again so your computer doesn't lose anything. It's going to take a little while to get used to the ability of Apple's apps to automatically save documents for you without having to think about it. And it will be even more amazing to see those same documents magically appear on your iPhone and/or iPad.
Don't plan on Microsoft's Office suite doing any of this any time soon...our office has been working on weaning itself off of Microsoft and moving towards Apple's iWork, not without some bumps in the road. But the iCloud service should make this transition a no brainer.
To be able to create documents, store images and music across your 'i' devices will be a revolutionary step towards freeing us from our desktops. I can't wait.
