Hearing a lot about Cloud Computing lately. Its a facinating area and no doubt the future of the technology world.

Cloud computing is location-independent computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand, as with the electricity grid. Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented architecture and utility computing. Details are abstracted from consumers, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them

Just wondering what developers out there think about the future of development in this area and what impact (if any) it may have on IT jobs ?
