call from Greenpeace— 3 When thinking about cloud computing, one may think about notions such as efficiencies, energy “The cloud is growing at a time when climate change and reducing use, marketing, revenues and enterprise models. Or we can use some professional terms and emissions from energy use is of paramount concern. With the phrases such as virtualization, software as service, hardware as service and so on so force. Here is a call from Greenpeace as part of their 2010 report which brought up the issue that with the growth of the cloud, however, comes an increasing demand for growth of the cloud, it actually comes an increasing demand for energy. positive or negative. We describe that research about positive or negative. We describe that research about positive or energy. For all of this content to be delivered to us in real time, Those data centers and massive storage facilities that store virtual mountains of video, pictures, virtual mountains of video, pictures and other data must be stored and other data actually consume incredible amounts of energy. the human interactivity ime arena of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in a significant way. We describe a short inventory somewhere and be available for almost instantaneous access. That of what is presently in the HCI literature apropos of cloud computing and interactivity. In ‘somewhere’ is data centers - massive storage facilities that addition, we offer a description of how we think the issues of cloud computing in the perspective of HCI may be framed, as well as an inventory of social issues implicated in cloud consume incredible amounts of energy .” computing.

4 overview In this paper, we describe the present lack of understanding about if the potential environmental impact of cloud computing environmental effects of transitions to cloud computing are positive or negative. We describe Also, we describe a short inventory of what is presently in the HCI literature apropos of cloud HCI and cloud computing as of now computing and interactivity. that research about the human interactivity implications of and for In addition, we offer a description of how we think the issues of cloud computing may be inventory of issues framed in the perspective of HCI., as well as an inventory of social issues implicated in cloud computing. We offer a description of how we think the issues of cloud computing in the perspective of HCI may be framed, as well as an inventory of social issues implicated in cloud computing. In addition, we offer a description of how we think the issue of cloud computing in the perspective of HCI may be framed, as well as an inventory of social issues implicated in cloud computing.

What is needed— and is the potential contribution of impacts of cloud computing HCI and design With respect of energy approach—is to accept the complexity of the question at hand and view use. Over time, there isthe problem as a true design problem— that is, a problem that must be an increasing use of informed by scientific measures but ultimately comes down to best and relatively decrease use ofintuitions and predictions about how behaviors will change in the future as a result of the adoption of cloud computing practices.

which one save more energy, 8 physical device or cloud practice? So compare the environmental cost of purchasing a DVD copy of the voive have already passed the tipping point—the point at which positive feedback mechanisms will induce the near certain likelihood of a period of global warming, regardless of our efforts to reform our behaviors. That is—global warming will continue even if all anthropogenic green house gas production ceases. Among the implications of this prediction that Lovelock enumerates is the ominous notion that the Earth’s population—now approaching 6.9 billion people—may be reduced to under a billion. If Lovelock’s view seems alarmist, it is sobering to note that of the six scenarios advanced by the IPCC for predicting green house gas emissions over the course of the present century (Figure 1), The way in which cloud based interactivity may change his or her way of wathcing other films, the continuing frequent obsolescence of conventional physical storage technologies and changes in bandwidth and resolution, changes in how much media the person consumers with the increased availability and speed of access and so on so forth.

is Greenpeace too simple? 9 what is needed— The issue is not in the efficiency of less redundant, centralized storage and access, but rather contribution of an HCI and design— how to transform human behaviors by a paradigm shift to cloud computing.

A problem must be informed by scientific measures that come down to best predictions about Likely, the assessment of cloud service providers is too simple in enumerating the factors that best predictions about how behaviors will involved.

10 HIC and cloud computing as of now

11 interaction design in cloud computing —implication for interaction design and The idea of Cloud Computing is simply to allow individuals to store and access their data in a virtual distributed way—that is to say to free people of the requirement to maintain their own human mental model of interactivity; local physical storage devices. The trend towards Cloud Computing has huge implications for interaction design and human mental models of interactivity. As Terrenghi and her colleagues “ As resources are no longer physically stored on a have noted in their 2010 CHI Work-in-Progress paper, “As resources are no longer physically stored on a specific device, it becomes clear that Cloud Computing influences the user mental specific device, it becomes clear that Cloud Computing model and experience with digital artifacts, especially in terms of organization and influences the user mental model and experience with retrieval of information.” [17] digital artifacts, especially in terms of organization and retrieval of information.” by Terrenghi et al.

12 interaction design in cloud computing — promote a consistent cognitive Interaction design in Cloud computing both creates the desire and holds the potential to prompt a consistent interface which fits situations at hand and yields a consistent cognitive mapping mapping across multiple access devices across a also Cloud multiplicity of access devices. Such requirements are present in the HCI Cloud Computing also holds the potential to promote a consistent interface across multiplicity of access devices. Such requirements are present in the HCI literature about cloud computing as directives and guiding principles for interactivity design. This is another note from T and her it is necessary and essential that novel user interfaces colleagues. The claim that… are required to convey a conceptual model “ that allows computing as directives and guiding principles for interactivity design. For example, Terrenghi et people to navigate and orient themselves in the Cloud, al. [17] and to define their landmarks for finding and using their information at any time and from any device .”
