Usually when I think of cloud computing, I think of a storage facility for my data. Before reading your bog post, I never thought about online music being in the cloud. I commute 30 miles to work everyday and I am sick and tired of the radio. I often listen to Pandora radio instead. I guess I have just been taking it for granted and not putting much thought into it. Cloud computing has definitely revolutionized our everyday lives, but most people don't realize it.
ReplyDeletePretty sure that has happened to many people who either lose data from their phones or are intending to purchase a new phone. The capabilities of having the cloud to store material.and documents makes transferring information to a new device easily and flexible. This dilemma has occured to my friends and I, but thanks to the cloud we were able to retrieve all of our important documents/information. Happy to know that the cloud was beneficial for you.
