Grid technology is one of the ten technologies that will shape 2008

1. The possibility of using the grid method in organizations - not only is it correct - it is already implemented in many places (universities, Google and more).
   The use of the unorganized population also exists (SETI project).
   I assume that all environments will be used in the future as well and the question is only of quantities.

2. Currently, only Roy's proposal sounds realistic enough to me for it to take place in the near future.
   Besides that the technology and accessibility to it in the case of what Roy mentioned is very high, and even in schools with the most outdated computer networks the method of operating several computers (more precisely screens, operating systems, desktops, or whatever you call it) through one powerful workstation is common .

   An organization can simply buy itself a powerful workstation/server (what's the difference?) for each department and thus save costs.

   Think positive…
   First of all, most of our computers are on 24/7 anyway, so power consumption is not a factor.
   Second, why not share resources? As everyone has benefited from sharing content (email, etc.) we can all benefit from sharing resources.
   You can be sure that a bank or any other important institutional body - will not rely on your computer or Shoshana's from Ramat-Gan to analyze reports... They have enough brains and enough money to ensure that their information systems work independently of unstable external factors!

   To Roy
   It is true that today most of the technology is adopted by large organizations, mainly financial entities and security agencies. But as always - good technology will also find its way to the home consumer.
   Think about the expected benefits for the home user:
   Large memory capacity
   Strong processing power
   Operating speed (more RAM usage)
   Survivability and stability (technically you can save all the information in a decentralized way on the network)
   Efficiency in energy consumption worldwide (computers that "rest" at night in America are used by awake users in Eurasia)
   Social justice at the international level (citizens of third world countries and developing countries can benefit from access to advanced and powerful computer services that are not used by their rich owners at a given time)

4. It seems to me that the intention here was to use the organization's computers, for example in an organization that has about 100 computers, of which let's say 20 belong to the secretariat, all they require from a computer is an office and a minefield. Their computer is hardly used, so they reached a low utilization rate in the organization. [In these organizations there is an average utilization of between 10% and 20% of the capabilities of all the computers in the organization.]

5. Ami:
   The truth is that the problem exists from the moment your computer communicates with the outside world.
   You will know what the internet provider is doing with your computing power or what programs like Skype are doing.

   The problem does get worse when you become part of a grid and I don't think it has a real solution.

   In the end, everyone will have to consider whether the advantage of receiving services or additional computing resources outweighs the disadvantage of providing additional computing resources to competitors/enemies, etc.

   The Internet will probably already be with us.
   Programs like Skype are also accepted, but there are also many who avoid using them because they burden the computer with the services they provide to others.
   We'll see what happens with the grid.

   Perhaps, as you suggested, it will remain mainly a solution for public institutions, on the one hand, and for very specific applications, on the other hand.

6. The only problem I see with this technology, as an end user or as someone who gives his home processing power, is that I have no real control over the body that uses my processing power. While one or another company can claim that they are raising my computing power for the benefit of finding a cure for cancer or finding extraterrestrials, etc., I have no basic way to make sure that my computing power (and my household electricity expenses) are not being used for the company's private calculations. In other words, if someone wants to save himself a lot of money and harness my computing power for his company or private interest, he can do so under the guise of finding one or another algorithm and I, as a contributor, have no way to verify or track the process.

   There are entities that are apparently non-profit and perhaps in their case it can be facilitated, but again - the uncertainty and the lack of immediate personal benefit, is hostile to my desire to give the computer and the money I spend on electricity for those grid entities.

   I propose - external and centralized regulation on companies that request extensive grid use. Also, the donor must receive a dividend of one kind or another on behalf of the recipients of the service, even if symbolic.

   Also, it behooves the state to utilize its computing resources outside office hours. If the municipality works from nine to five (lol) then from five in the evening to nine in the morning a grid can operate whose purpose is the welfare of the public, in one way or another. These are computers and electricity that are funded by the tax payer that stand and rot in front of clerks who know how to operate Office at most.
