Web-Scale IT in Conversation
Well, it is interesting to me, that a topic I never heard of before this semester, came up (ok, I brought it up) in conversation when a friend and I were talking about using Fitbit devices to track steps. I happen to talk about how Web-Scale IT systems offers large organizations the ability to effectively provide services in real time. While to the end-user we just need to wear the band and move and watch the numbers move incrementally higher, there is a great amount of technological systems behind the scenes to make our ‘at-a-glance’ product work effectively. Too excited!
