Could the future of cloud computing be literally in the clouds? Jeff Bezos thinks so. 🌌 The Amazon founder dropped a cosmic prediction at Italy’s Tech Week: gigawatt-scale data centers orbiting Earth could become reality within 10–20 years.
💬 "Solar power 24/7, no clouds, no rain—space is the ultimate server room," Bezos told Ferrari Chairman John Elkann. With AI driving explosive demand for computing power (and Earth’s energy grids sweating 😅), he argues orbital hubs could outcompete terrestrial ones by mid-century.
📈 Bezos compared today’s AI boom to the early 2000s internet gold rush, urging innovators to "build through the hype." His vision? A Star Trek-worthy network of space-based server farms, powered by endless sunlight ☀️ and free from Earth’s climate challenges.
🌍 Tech giants are already eyeing the stars as Earth’s data appetite strains resources. But will rocket-powered cloud storage beam down to your phone faster than 5G? Only time—and a few billion dollars in R&D—will tell. 👨💻🛰️
