For an assignment, we were told to watch three videos talking about or linking back in some way to Cloud Computing. The first one I watched was called "Cloud Computing-How It Works", and it was a fun, short video explaining what the Cloud is. As soon as you put anything on line, it immediately gets put into the Cloud, and this means that it is not only on your computer, but it is also accessible at any time, anywhere. There can also be copies of your picture or other data stored in "secret" warehouses full of computers called Data Centers, or Server Files. Your picture will be stored, and the Cloud acts as a backup.
The second video I watched was titled "The Machine is Us/ing Us", and it was an almost chilling video discussing the development in code and computing. We used to have to use complicated code to upload to the web, and as HTML expanded and more elements were added, form and content became inseparable. But then XML came along, and form and content could be separated. Data could be exported free of formatting constraints, and with these separated, we no longer needed complicated code.
The third video I watched was called "Cloud Computing", and it was a lot more different from the first video than I originally thought. It talked about how Cloud Computing companies can help your business by storing data and maintaining it in their databases. It's all secure, backed up in many different locations and accessible through the wed or the cloud. Businesses can spend less time worrying about technology, and more time making money.
After I watched these three videos, I had to choose my own video from the large (very large) selection of videos that talk about technology. I know this video doesn't talk about one specific topic and it's not about computer virus' or cool compact radios, or anything that could possibly have come from a James Bond movie, but it was interesting! I'm not going to lie! So here it is, and I hope it doesn't bore you or make you nostalgic, because I wouldn't be surprised if you have seen it before.
