I explored the concept of future ready in my latest column for SLA.

This is the copy that hasn’t been through my great editor so the final copy is better found in the magazine, on the SLA website for members or in the quality databases at your library.

    Cloud computing is an interesting one. While I think its use and popularity may grow but I wonder how effective it will be if the companies who provide it begin charging for storage. Will it become “limited?” Cell phones, for instance, used to have unlimited use plans but now that has gone away in favor of tiered bandwidth use. Might Dropbox’s free 2Gb space be reduced over time?
