I have to admit before watching this video, I really had no clue what cloud computing was. How sad is that? As I understand it now, Cloud computing is the ultimate, "networks of networks". As cloud computing is optimized the goal is to have one computer and everyone else uses personal devices to access that computer via the internet without having to use their own hard drive space and download software and hardware devices. How cool is that?
When using Cloud Computing not only can you access software you never have to download; you can also save, share, and collaborate projects and not use a single kb of your device's harddrive. I also learned that I already use several forms of Cloud computing like Dropbox. I am excited for the future of the internet, this video was really enlightening for me.
I have to agree that the video did present some new information. I guess it is like what most of us do with computers today... we just use the applications and don't really know what or how they work. I have used Salesforce forever and did not really ever stop to think about the functionality of the application except when the T1 line was down. :-(
ReplyDeleteWhat is Dropbox? I have not heard of that before.
ReplyDeleteI am also excited about the future of the Internet! Great post.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that someone understood that video. I felt like it was really all over the place. I wish they would have left out the people that didn't seem to know what Cloud Computing was. I didn't find it humorous. I was just confusing. :(
ReplyDeleteGlad you find the information enlightening and that your answer was better than some on the video I posted :) I have a Dropbox but rarely use it because I have a paid hosting company and use that instead. Like you I am excited about the future of the Internet too!
