• Cloud Computing


  Storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive
• Advantages of Cloud Computing


  • No need to install
  • Saves hard disk space
  • Easy to access; can be run anywhere as long as there is internet connection
  • Saves money from buying software licenses
  • No need to update because it updates automatically
  • Minimum system requirements
  • Back up and data recovery are relatively easier than on a physical device
• Disadvantages of Cloud Computing


  • Can be hampered down by slow internet speed
  • May still require compatible software like a browser
  • You do not own the software; you are simply renting it
  • Security risk of doing things over the Internet as opposed to your personal computer alone
  • More prone to hacking
  • Limited control over the infrastructure itself
