Utility Sprout - Dawn of a new adaptation ?

Most of us by now have heard the gaint strides of computing towards becoming a utility, and many among us have wondered how Grid and Utility computing are going to change the way we work, live and grow. While almost all of them have concentrated on the "Utility Infrastructure", I think the best gains of electricity as a utility was in the "Consumerism" it fuelled.

Imagine all the gadgets we use today because of electricity as a "utility". Almost everything !!. So, I have always believed that the emergence of computing capability as a utility will catalyze the use of services as we know, and today I came across one such simple adaptation.
