Which are connections between different computers. The large computers or servers does all the “hard work” instead of the local computers running programs, processing and storing data. The benefits to this setup is that the workload of the local computer is greatly reduced, and there are office programs like Google Docs and Office Web Apps. This lets you create, store and share documents online that you can access from anywhere. The drawbacks of it is, if the cloud computing servers go offline you go offline. It is the same as internet computing which means that you should not use data that you are not comfortable having online. Also, depending on the device that you are using, the “cloud” may have some restrictions on what programs or apps you can or cannot use. Banned Books Week!!!
