Cloud
1) The cloud is a
new model for the use of computer equipment. It is based on transfering part of
your files and programs to servers that you can access through the Internet. It
allows you to store your documents,media, etc. on those servers.
2)
Advantages:
You can access
from anywhere and with several devices. Your programs and files are in the
Cloud, so you only need an Internet connection to access them and use them
remotely; all the software is in one place. This avoids having to install the
programs on your PC, your laptop or each and every one of the multiple
computers in a network, the only program you need to have is an Internet
browser to access the Cloud and work on it, saving in software and hardware.
Disadvantages:
Lack of security and privacy, your files and
information are stored in the Cloud which implies losing a bit of control. It
is more difficult to be sure of who accesses that information or if it is
protected or not as it should be.
Everything depends on the Internet connection If
it doesn’t work, it will not be possible to access the programs or the data, problems
of legal coverage. Cloud servers can be anywhere in the world. If there are
problems, it is not clear which law should be applied and if this will protect
the owner or the information.

-Evernote: I can create
notes and documents and can acces to them from any of my devices.
-Google Drive: I
can share documents with some of my work
colleagues.
-I can storage my
computer backup.

5) In this new era of digitalization, a very
important issue is that because of cloud computing, which involves uploading
data to the web or the "cloud" is easier sharing information in
private sphere, on the other hand are the companies, to which this new
tool helps to optimize their work and save money in investment costs and
physical infrastructure, that is because cloud computing offers software,
databases and storage space to all the connected devices.
For me is a bit difficult to trust the integrity and
privacity of my data, so I do not use it in my daily life as I am suposed to.
However I have to admit that is an important tool and it’s the future of
storage and document sharing.
