For my lecture 1 essay, I will be writing about the concept of cloud computing. First of all, it is important to know what cloud computing is exactly; it is the process of storing data on remote servers, instead of storing it on a personal ccomputer. This method of storage allows for easier access to information, since everything is being stored on a offsite server that is hosted by the internet.

Cloud computing, I believe is the data storage method of the future, as it is the most efficient and practical method. Cloud computing is currently used by major businesses, such as Microsoft, with their Microsoft Cloud, and IBM, to store data that is crucial to their day-to-day operations. This allows anyone who needs to quickly access the stored data to be able to since it is all on the internet.
