==Contemporary analogy==

Some see the idea behind the NC as existing in contemporary times in the system of [[cloud computing]] and in particular [[Google Chrome OS]]. In [[Wired magazine]], Daniel Roth claims that the failure of the network computer eventually led to the development of cloud computing. A large contribution to this transition was attributed to [[Eric Schmidt]], once the [[chief technical officer|CTO]] of [[Sun Microsystems]], a proponent of the network computer, who eventually became the CEO of [[Google]]. Google is a large purveyor of cloud technology, "most notably Google Docs and Spreadsheets."<ref>Roth, Daniel.
