What is the cloud computing?

Cloud means Internet, so cloud computing means that save your computing data on the internet rather then the PC. It'll helps you to overcome your dependency on the PC and servers, and allows you to save your data on the internet thus you can easily access all of the data from any location.What is the cloud computing?
In my opinion, a silly concept that someone likely invented while smoking marijuana, in the midst of a "cloud" of dope smoke and with their mind obviously in the clouds. But I'll give you a real answer.



Basically, it's a trend that a lot of companies are following, and which is being pushed by people like Google and Apple, away from full-fledged stand-alone desktop and laptop computers with physical storage and productivity programs installed. In cloud computing, applications and data are stored on, and run directly from an Internet connection. Google Docs is a great example of a cloud computing application already in existence.



The adoption of cloud computing means that less-capable, and therefore cheaper, hardware can be used. The drawbacks are dependence on an always-on Internet connection and security issues, since a person's data is not under their physical control, but living on a server somewhere else. The latter is the reason that a lot of people don't like the idea, including me.What is the cloud computing?
With simple words: cloud computing is when a bunch of applications are in one place and can be accessed by users through the internet. You don't use applications locally but through internet. This applications can be accessible from different electronic devices, such pc, smartphones ecc.



In the complicated way, cloud computing is: a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. (Wikipedia).What is the cloud computing?
In general, the essence of cloud computing is the way of keeping information. In traditional computing, we store all data and programs on our PCs and normally we can access them only through the same computer unless you allow remote access. Whereas in cloud computing all necessary data and programs are stored in the service provider’s information centre and thereof they can be accessed from any PC with an Internet connection. In many cases you don’t even have to download and install any applications to your computer, because they are already in the “cloud”.

Apple's vision of iCloud is that you buy something, take a photo, etc. on one device, then it automatically goes up to "the cloud" and syncs itself automatically on all your other devices.
