We can assume Santa knows all about cloud computing. How else can he keep track of who’s naughty and nice while flying at 5,000 feet in an open sleigh? The long parchment concept doesn’t fly anymore. Surely he’s using an iPhone or a BlackBerry to access a data center somewhere, while a contact center full of elves record last minute gift requests and keep Santa’s naughty and nice list up to date. So if old St. Nick is hip to the cloud, what might we expect him to get us for Christmas?
5. Santa will probably give out more subscriptions to Netflix this year than ever before. He doesn’t want to carry around a million copies of Kung Fu Panda 2 when he can email half the kids in the country a subscription to Netflix which lets them watch a different movie every night.
4. Something Santa is sure to have an abundance of in his grotesquely large gift-bag is the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2. Santa wants to keep his job so he’s not going to send all his gifts though email, and no matter how engrossed we become with cloud computing, we’re still going to need devices to access it.
3. A digital subscription to the New York Times. This is another gift that will lighten Santa’s load and reduce the number of stops he has to make, frankly it shocks me that he could ever deliver gifts to everyone on the nice list before the advent of cloud computing. See what I did there?
2. There is always that person who realizes that they’ve been naughty all year and vows to do good deeds until they’re confident they’ve been moved to the nice list. What’s Santa to do about a kid who helps an old lady cross a treacherously icy road on Christmas Eve? As powerful as they may be, the elves can’t FedEx Santa another gift while he’s hovering over Newark. Thanks to cloud commerce websites like Amazon.com, the elves can find a list minute gift and send it themselves. It might not arrive before Christmas Day, but what do you expect after doing last minute good deeds to ensure a gift from Santa?
1. The greatest gift Santa will give this year is one that even he can benefit from. If the ice caps melt, where will he, Mrs. Claus, and the elves live? By giving gifts that don’t require as much production or produce as much waste, Santa is helping the environment, which is a gift that everyone can share.
