Cloud Computing

      Cloud computing is a new technology. Im sure many of you have heard of it from apple. The could is the idea that you are able to store information in the “clouds”. This gives you the ability to store things and not have your computer move slower because it is all junked up. The could is sort of like an external hard drive, you have the information but it is not directly on your computer. I personally am not sold on the idea. I have all mac products and do not use the could.  like many products there is good and bad.  

      One main problem people have with the cloud is the price. Since it is a new program the could space is rather costly. Unfortunately for companies such as Microsoft not all the consumers like it. They wanted to create a new xbox where all the games would be stored in a “cloud” many of the consumers complained and they decided not to do it. I personally agree with the xbox consumers because when I pay for something I like to have a hard copy. Especially with something like xbox I enjoy taking my games with me and going to friends houses. I am also a skeptic about the cloud network because of security. We do not know ho actually safe they are. This is something that is storing your information and you want it safe. Although the cloud is good for running programs within companies, it is easy to store and opens quickly. The cloud works for companies and networks but for my personal use im not sure about it. Maybe in a few years I will be able to safely use the cloud.
