When microcomputers were first marketed in the 1970's, corporate computer departments had all sorts of people with a lot of Titles. There were Computer Operators of course, and programmers, system analysts, tape librarians, etc. But with a Microcomputer in your home, you were everything! You were The Computerist.

Crowd Computing
A sub-section of Cloud Computing offered by service providers that under-invest in both server infrastructure and technical support staff.
Companies that outsource to them do not realise that they are being crammed in like sardines to the vendors infrastructure which is nowhere near adequate. They only start to realise they are up shit creek when they try to contact technical support for help only to be placed in the longest most painful telephone queue of their life.

Afghan: "None of our 1,000 employees can access their online email application, my CIO's already been fired and I'm next for the chop...I opened a support ticket with the vendor 5 days ago and this is the 26th time I've tried to get through to them on the phone...I am dead meat man, dead meat <sniff>."
Tragic: "Well Afghan, that's Crowd Computing for you."

cloud computing
If one could consider the internet itself as being similar to a "cloud", in the way that it seemingly floats ubiquitously over everything and is not owned by anyone, cloud computing is using a cheap, rudimentary computer terminal as the only hardware you need in order to accomplish fully functional computing.
Man! Alhamdullilah that each one of us is finally able through cloud computing to stop being tied down to all that duplicative hardware!

Cloud Computing
A term that basically describes the many loss of IT jobs.
Back in the good ol' days, manpower was required to get work done. These days, you just need a bunch of Indians (From India) who follow a scripted business model, and offer, or at least what they consider, a "service".
The large volume of third-world competition has not only decimated industry-level wages by about 40%, but has also eliminated thousands of previously existing jobs.
Simply put, if you are considering a career in IT, stay away! All of us who are now in IT are wishing we had chosen a different career path as we do not know if there will be a career for us in the long-term.

2008 (new student intake class) - professor speaking: "There are MANY jobs in IT! You will all start at over $60,000 per year! STARTING! You kids were smart to make this choice!
2011 (graduates) - outcome: Average starting wages fell to around 35-40k per year.
"Gee golly, sir, I sure do love being taken advantage of by my employer due to the shitty economic climate!"
Another example:
A student looks for a job, only to discover that all "junior" entry-level positions, require 3-5 years of industry-level experience. Life is so not fair sometimes.
A dude gets rejected after his 4th interview for requesting a livable wage:
"cloud computing can kiss my ass!"
