You might be asking yourself: “what does it <cloud computing> have to do with me?” and you’ll be surprised with the answer.
Regular users utilize cloud computing. for example:
- Did you know that YouTube is a cloud-based service? All of those videos are kept in a cloud-based system, making them accessible anywhere in the world, 24/7/365 with lightning speeds.
- If you’re using Gmail or YahooMail (for example), your emails are not saved on your own computer, they are kept on Google or Yahoo’s cloud system, just like the YouTube videos.
- Young people who enjoy video games but can’t afford to buy the equipment needed to run them can simply have the game run on a distant computer, with just the images & sound being broadcasted back to their screen (“streamed”).
