Greetings from THE CLOUD.
The cloud is the future of computing. Instead of people relying on the computing capacity of their personal devices, they use someone else's servers to handle what they need. Date stored in the cloud is available anywhere where internet is available, making it great for all kinds of users. Before this week's lecture, I was a little apprehensive of the cloud's security, but Dr. Wilkes proved a great point. Companies that exist solely to store your data are a lot safer than personal computers. If your machine is compromised by, I don't know, spilling a cup of coffee on the harddrive, your data is probably caput. However, with the cloud, you don't have to worry about spilling coffee on anything (except for, really you do because computer parts can be pricey and there's some data you can't put on the cloud).
