3. What is Cloud Computing ?
• The use of hardware and software to deliver a service
over a network (typically the Internet).
• Users can access files and use applications from any
device that can access the Internet.
4. • For example, many people use social networking sites or
webmail, and these are cloud services. Photographs that
people once kept on their own computers are now being
stored on servers owned by third parties. These are also
examples of cloud services.
• An example of a Cloud Computing provider is Google's
Gmail. Gmail users can access files and applications
hosted by Google via the internet from any device

9. Risks?
• Security and privacy: Some cloud providers may,
however, use the personal information of users
for advertising purposes or to learn more about
the users for other reasons.
• Technical Issues : You need a good Internet
connection to be logged onto the server at all
times. You will invariably be stuck in case of
network and connectivity problems.
