1:33 am is the best time to sleep, to dream; It is also the best time to ruminate on such a topic.To understand this topic, it has to be stated first the need of every single human ever on earth, which is to Socialize, to mingle, to have FRIENDS. Humans cannot pass their time in solitude, they need someone around to talk; share their thoughts; their sadness and happiness; their life.Let us examine the scenario, where someone, god-forbidden, does not have any friends.They may start making friends in imagination to socialize. This is where human creative power comes in handy.One may have fixed dream-mates who he can think about, play with, dine out, and pretty much do everything within the mind's eye.I can say here that the dreams are good. They open new frontiers to imagine in waywardness ,to go beyond the reach of even the brain itself, UP IN THE CLOUD.....
Thing to be noted here is that this term - VIRTUALIZATION is as misleading as CLOUD (Cloud computing).As the cloud is not some imaginary mass in the sky but the servers that exist at some place.In same terms, Virtualization is not implicit in any way, the virtual machines are just part of a computer.They use existing computer hardware and software resources and are as real as the computer itself.
......UP IN THE CLOUD, where data goes. Amazing thing this cloud is, it backs-up all of the important computer data. Where does it take it - does it really go to the cloud, I used to wonder as an amateur Engineer. This technical term coined by the Technological fathers is misleading for many. The data stored in a computer's memory goes to the cloud, which is the huge memory(Server-farm,Data-center) built by a company.This is how all the iPhone information gets backed-up to the Cloud that is to the Apple's servers at various locations in the world.Similarly, the Google's and all those others.
To understand the dreams further, we should survey another technical concept - Virtualization. Suppose a family of three has just one Laptop - The Macbook PRO. The father likes Windows 7, The mother - being the linux fan finds Ubuntu amazing and the daughter, as she owns the MAC, is obviously a Mac-IOS fan. The daughter then on Christmas eve decides to fulfill everyone's wish and installs the Windows 7 and Ubuntu VIRTUAL MACHINES using VMware.Without being too technical, what is to be understood here is that the only LAPTOP in house now has all the Operating systems installed on it, which solves the purpose to the fullest.

This leads us back to the imagination, the dreams. Dreams are just part of the same brain that is asleep and awake at different times; just like cloud, just like virtualization.We can then scientifically conclude that the virtual friends are as real as the real-ones or the real-ones are as virtual as the virtual-ones.With that note I need to go back to sleep and dream to explore the unbound boundries.As they say - 'One virtual friend is better than thousand real ones.'
Hail the Yawn!!!
