“The cloud, simply refers to software and services that
run on the Internet instead of your computer. Apple
iCloud, Dropbox, Netflix, Amazon Cloud Drive,
Flickr, Google Drive, Microsoft Office 365,
Yahoo Mail – those are all cloud services.
There are many advantages to using the cloud. Since
the videos, photos, documents, games, and other
software that lives in the cloud are available on any
device with an Internet connection, you can access
your stuff from anywhere.”
What is the cloud?
