Cloud computing refers to the online access of files, applications, and resources. It has become integral to daily activities such as social media, online banking, and shopping, often without users realizing it. As cloud services expand, they provide significant benefits for both personal and business use.
You Use the Cloud Every Day
- 1. EVERY DAY! YOU USE THE CLOUD ...EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW IT
- 2. Cloud computing is the world of files, applications and computing resources offered to users via the Internet. Basically, any type of Web service or app that is accessed online is in the cloud. HEY, IT’S TRUE. 95% OF PEOPLE HAVE USED THE CLOUD AND JUST DON’T KNOW IT. THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S NOT WELL-UNDERSTOOD.
- 4. WE’VE HEARD IT OFTEN “So what do you do?” “Oh! So that’s just like iCloud, right?” “I work at a cloud computing company.” “Well...no...”
- 5. STORAGE IS WHAT PEOPLE COMMONLY THINK OF WHEN THEY HEAR “CLOUD.” BUT EVEN SO, MANY PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE BREADTH OF CLOUD STORAGE SERVICES.
- 6. iCLOUD IS A GREAT EXAMPLE, BUT THERE ARE DOZENS MORE:
- 7. CLOUD STORAGE IS LIKE MOVING YOUR FLASH DRIVE TO THE INTERNET. Instead of loading up a little device with files only to forget to bring it on your business trip when you need it most, you probably upload your files directly to the Internet! This includes documents, photos, music and more. You can then access this information from any Internet-capable device, in any location with Internet access.
- 8. SOCIAL MEDIA
- 9. SOCIAL MEDIA IS A CLOUD-BASED COMMUNICATION METHOD. YUP. THAT THING YOU USE EVERY DAY TO COMMUNICATE, STAY INFORMED, CHECK IN ON YOUR FAVORITE CELEBS, SHARE FUNNY LINKS, TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU ATE FOR LUNCH... IT’S ALL HAPPENING IN THE CLOUD. GUESS WHAT?
- 10. THERE’S BEEN A MAJOR SHIFT IN HOW PEOPLE INTERACT. THE WORLD’S CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING ONLINE!
- 11. TODAY IT’S POSSIBLE AND EASY TO REACH EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.
- 12. TRADITIONAL MEDIUMS ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP! Live feeds constantly update with news or trending topics. It’s easy for parents to keep in touch with their college-bound students, or for grandparents to see their grandchildren for the first time via Skype. Companies can gain valuable insights from interactions happening online. This is all possible because of cloud computing.
- 14. WRITE A CHECK PUT IT IN AN ENVELOPE SMACK A STAMP ON IT STICK IT IN THE MAILBOX THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE... OKAY, SO YOU COULD... ...ALL TO MAKE SURE YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL IS PAID ON TIME.
- 15. OR...CREATE AN ONLINE ACCOUNT, CLICK A BUTTON AND BE DONE WITH IT - THE DAY THE BILL IS DUE!
- 16. WHAT DO YOU THINK PEOPLE PREFER TODAY? The latter! It’s easier than ever to pay your bills, check account balances, or buy that jacket you’ve been wanting for ages without leaving the house. These services we’ve implemented into our lives without a second thought are all cloud services. They may be vastly different in purpose than social media, but because you can access them through the Internet to share, save or gather information, you’re working in the cloud.
- 17. THAT’S NOT EVEN ALL
- 18. THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT HERE ARE MORE EXAMPLES OF CLOUD- BASED SERVICES WE USE EVERY DAY!
- 19. EVEN NOTICING... ...we have implemented the cloud into our routines of communicating, informing, working, exercising, commuting and entertaining. The cloud already plays a huge role in our personal, daily lives. Imagine what would happen if you consciously used it for your business. AND WITHOUT
