The Cloud

To be honest I really don't have a clue about what the Cloud is or how it relates to technology.
I wonder if the Cloud I am going to research about relates to the icloud in the apples products?
I also wonder if it is were computers stores its backup and memory?
As I research bout the cloud two links that i have found useful are:
1:  http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/what-cloud-computing-really-means-031
In this website I learned that Cloud computing is at an early stage and that it is a familiar Cliche to the internet but its definition goes much deeper. Cloud computing is the use of computing resources that are delivered as a service over the Internet. The name cloud comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with data, software and computation.

Before I started researching I was wondering if the cloud had anything to do with the icloud in the apple products. This website showed me the relationship between them. On one hand cloud computing is the use of computing resources that are delivered as a service over the Internet. On the other icloud is and easy way to store all of your music, games, and applications in all your apple products. In someways these two things relate and in others they don't. But now I have the answer to my question.

What I learned today:

  • What is the Cloud
  • Why it is important for us.
  • How the cloud is important for computers.
  • How the cloud is just starting and will develop through years.
  • How does the cloud relate to the icloud.
As I researched today I realized that without the cloud we wouldn't be able to use computers as we do.
