Cloud Computing


You may have heard the buzzword "cloud computing" and wondered what it was. Of course to ask would be to imply that you didn't already know. You probably already use forms of cloud computing now without knowing what it is. For example if you have a yahoo email account, upload photos to Flickr or if you store a document on google docs you are already using a form of cloud computing. It is also a business model that is increasingly being adopted by educational institutions and businesses of all sizes. Watch this short video "Cloud Computing in Plain English" to understand the term and the buzz.
