The Cloud and Web 2.0
I. THE CLOUD Cloud computing is when an individual or company no longer uses their hardware or software on their computers or through their company network to store and access computerized information but, instead they use a service from another company through the internet in different locations worldwide. “ We define the cloud as the elastic leasing of pooled computer resources over the internet” ( Kroneke, 2013). Use of browser queries, web-mail, and document storage are a few examples of using the cloud, when we use these applications we outsource to servers located throughout the world, or use the cloud, the information is transmitted to the cloud and can be accessible anytime an individual or organization needs that information to be returned to the computerized device they are accessing. Cloud computing would make programs that you have to upload and use on your computerized device somewhat obsolete because of the same programs and software being easily accessed as a web-based entity, which makes life easier for busy individuals and organizations. Another wonderful concept of using the cloud would be that these server companies pay for these services by advertising and through other services that are paid for in advance, so we can access without cost. Using the cloud is cost affective in both funds for buying programs, equipment and software and time managing because these services are accessible through someone else. No more worries about internet risks such as viruses or backing up your system because this dependable server does that for you. You can opt to pay for services through subscriptions or access free programs and applications through the cloud and this can save money in the long run because you do not need to buy an eclectic bunch of computer equipment that just sits
