It is meant grid and cloud , implied computing, where the first is known as distributed computing architecture for processing large amounts of data through the coordinated sharing of resources within a virtual organization such as grid computing science at CERN, for example, and that is the historical source of the second and where the borders between the resources are not as detailed and not as serving the most sophisticated (just a series of home PCs) to share, especially documents and information to reduce costs, simplify management and the gift of the risks to the supplier, that supplier is not goods but services ("Products are getting services," wrote Marshall McLuhan in 1966): Everything that we use on the network including the bank branch is now perched on a cloud somewhere, somewhere ... with such an absence of legal safeguards for those who fear worry about so many in the hands of so few large organizations to foster such complex (which will be worth $ 150 billion in 2013) from which our data store "sensitive" and which was not always certain to maintain its exclusive property.
Then came 2.0, which has seen fit to expand grids and clouds of machines in a crowd of people: computing crowd, in fact, or source crowd, to make the bloated concept of computer as a physical object (as well as the individual mind, at least to believe cinemap , "The Librarian" 3 -4/2010 ) together with the obsolescence of the concepts and practices download and upload because everything is held elsewhere in a more accessible and therefore always available.
With grids and clouds, companies such as InnoCentive , for one thing, when selling statistical analysis and economic, industrial design and problem solving investments, "light" infrastructure would otherwise be impossible without the use of distributed computing. But there are not only in other areas, Wikipedia and Facebook: there is just too Digitaltkoot the Finnish national library to digitize its texts apportionment among the users voluntary correction of the characters are not recognized by the scanner and that looks like a video game show, to escape the boredom of repetition, to win something and to feel part of a community helping to Finnish culture.

How big is this grid of clouds in the hands of the crowd? Not that much, apparently: less than a 1 followed by hundred zeros - the number Googol - (but The approximate amount of chess games as possible and 120 of 10) and that is always, however, larger than the estimate of the number of subatomic particles in the universe known as "known", which they say is around "only" around the power 70 of 10 ...
