云時代新趨勢：人才云

“云計算”時代，我們不用隨身攜帶移動硬盤和U盤等存儲設備，把文件直接存儲在云空間就可以隨時隨地訪問和下載了。

其實，遍布世界各地的free lancer也是可以根據同樣的理念來為不同的企業和項目服務的。

Recent developments in cloud computing have seen the addition of the "human element" to the cloud and consequently the birth of the "human cloud".
云計算的發展見證了云技術中“人才因素”的引入，由此導致了“人才云”的誕生。

The idea behind the "human cloud" is to make locations of workforce irrelevant and the virtualization of work possible. The "human cloud" describes tasks and projects, which can be performed remotely and instantaneously by people who are not employees but temporarily hired independent workers. Therefore, the "human cloud" provides a great opportunity for businesses to staff up quickly and effectively on an on-demand basis.
“人才云”背后的理念是，讓員工所在地彼此獨立，使工作虛擬化成為可能。“人才云”指的是臨時雇傭獨立的個人在短時間內遠程完成的任務和項目。由此，“人才云”讓公司等商業機構能夠按照需求迅速并有效地建立起項目團隊。
