Blog #2: What is the cloud? and how it is important to me.

The cloud is storage on the internet whether it be videos, pictures, or documents it can all be stored on the cloud. The data get stored onto a server remotely through services like Icloud where u can pay or google drive where it is free to a certain extent. The cloud can be accessed from almost any end device such as phones, laptops, PC and other portable devices so it is very convenient and on the go. I use it everyday and without it I would be on a desert island without access to the cloud. I wouldn’t be able to complete homework at home if I didn’t finish in class. I can be able to take my work home and get better grades all because of the cloud. The cloud is very helpful to me in my personal life too because when I play video games, my saves get saved onto the cloud which makes my life very easy when playing video games because I can just leave it and it will save conveniently. The cloud is basically being able to access information from virtually anywhere on the internet from servers. The cloud helps me reduce stress in life because it makes me not forget about what I need to know. It has saved me from a lot of sticky situations. For example right now I am writing my blog very last minute in the car on my phone trying to get the 3 minute read. Also I can be ahead of my work. One time I was assigned a powerpoint presentation project that was due in a fee days I got to start on it early and get a head start and I finished it early and because if the cloud i got a good grade on it because I got a head start on the powerpoint presentation project. Another example is that I was playing a game on my computer and I forgot to save my progress then I was sad but then i remembered that it saves on the cloud and i was happy that i got to save my 8 hours of progress on making my minecraft server. If it weren’t for the cloud my life would be ruined. The cloud makes it very convenient for group work too. One time I was assigned a group powerpoint and everyone wasn’t able to work on it at the same time with joint forces, so we had to go on the powerpoint and work on it when we had the time to, so whenever I went on I would work on it and when I was a done it saved automatically and the data would be sent to the server and saved there so that my group could access it and add on to it. This really helped me with my grades multiple times all thanks to the cloud.
