  1. Not only do I use the cloud on my phone, I use it everyday at school. One of the clouds tools is google drive. When working on group projects this makes collaborating and work distribution very efficient. When on my phone it is comforting to know that all my photos, music, and files are easily accessible of off any device.

  27. I use the Cloud every day. Whether I am surfing the web, going on Instagram, or snap chatting my friends, the Cloud is there.
    If somehow your computer shuts down, the Cloud is sure to save everything you had on file, making it available for you to regain access to it.

  46. (this is Jillian BTW) Personally I liked the Frank video, it summed up what cloud computing is without over loading my mind with unnecessary information. Watching where and how Frank the dog traveled via the inter-web it helped put my thoughts into a simple and realistic use for cloud computing. with that said, cloud is, like the video said, a good back up for storing and protecting memories you wish to save. of course there's always the danger of someone using your information to harm you, but in the case of Frank the dog, that person will never lose their photo due to the numerous locations and ways to retrieve it.

  47. Cloud is a great way to store your information! The video with the dog was for sure my favorite as it was a simple description of the complex process behind cloud computing! Cloud is extremely useful to me and all of my daily activities! With cloud I can work on an assignment at school through a Chromebook, then later head home and work on the same assignment on a completely separate device. The possibilities within the cloud are endless!
