Cloud computing is a concept that has been making a lot of noise among the technical people as well as in the general tech savvy community.The reasons vary from the ease and portability it offers both to large companies with varied working places and to the mobility loving generation which so relegiously faithful to procrastination. :)
In general cloud computing provides services ,data storage and access independent of the location and device constraints.The task orientated companies have already been taking advantage of its features.So instead of discussing its impications to them,lets see what its has in store for the general fun loving gadget oriented tech savvy.
Cloud computing offers you the flexibility to store your applications,data.music,movies etc etc into a virtual 'cloud' which is accessable to you through various integrated devices from computers to pads and pods and all mnemonics.How interesting it is to download a music into your laptop and the next day when you are among friends and find the need to show of your music taste,just pluck it from 'your' cloud into your mobile and play it loud.
How it works is that you can create your personal 'Cloud' with access to you and people you want to share with.Now what you need is a cloud supported device like phones,ipod etc and the cloud is there to rain you with all the data you need.Pretty fun when you realise that we are all already into the cloud thing when in social media,we already have our own groups,friends,families etc and we share photos, music and what not.So cloud takes you to a newer level when it makes your social experience device independent.
particularly talking about iCloud,the concept of cloud computing developed by apple,one can integrate all their i series devices' data into the cloud and access them through any of the devices.One particular advantage is data loss prevention,for example,one may be saving some data into one's iphone and there is some failure,the data gets stored into the cloud and you can access through your mac.
Really Steve Jobs is a man of vision and to really beleive this has been in apple pipe line for years..great! :)
looking forward to my own iCloud!
