Cloud computing allows users to access data and software over the internet rather than through a local computer or server. It provides benefits such as saving memory on personal devices, saving money, and providing stable access to data from any internet-connected device. Users can store photos, documents, email and other personal information on virtual hard drives in the cloud without worrying about running out of memory on their local computers. Social networks like Facebook and Tumblr also utilize cloud computing by allowing unlimited photo storage and archiving online.

Cloud Computing…
Save memory.
Smart Phone.
Database. Save Money.
Personal Computer.
Laptop.
“The Internet provides the connection between
your computer and the database.”
2. • The first thing you need to know is that cloud computing runs completely
through the internet.
• This means that your computer memory is spared and your data is saved
online, and can consequently be accessed by anything with an internet!

• It works by you saving your data on a ‘virtual hardrive’ existing on the
internet. So you wont have to worry about your PC crashing due to overfilling
software installments, applications and documents…like this guy!
4. *
• Web-based email services like Gmail and Hotmail deliver a cloud
computing service.
• Users can access their email "in the cloud" from any computer with a
browser and Internet connection, regardless of what kind of hardware
is on that particular computer.
5. This means that all the junk mail sent daily from
Facebook notifications, Twitter notifications etc.
doesn’t clog up the internal memory on your
computer, which would slow it down!

7. Tumblr ‘archive’ with
photos blogged since
2009.
Facebook photos, still
stored online since 2007.
Both social networks allow
personalized data to be archived
continuously, with an unlimited
storage space, meaning as many
photos can be reblogged or posted
as wanted, without ever losing or
wasting memory.
