so what’s the big idea about cloud
computing to understand it you have to
go backwards a long ways ever since
people have that stuff
they’ve had to figure out ways of
tracking it counting on fingers didn’t
get you very far so 5,000 years ago they
invented the abacus and while abacus is
català have big numbers they have their
limitations enter the calculator so we
can tell you how much stuff you had but
it couldn’t hold your music collection
your vacation pictures and Funniest Home
Videos your encyclopedia or the yellow
pages but before long the personal
computer can do all that and now that
you had a place to put all your stuff
you got more and more and more of it
soon your computer couldn’t handle
everything you wanted to cram it so
where do you look for an answer the
clouds well not literally the cloud is
actually a bunch of giant Internet hard
drives or servers where you can store
all of your stuff so instead of filling
up your computer with all your documents
upload them to these servers any one of
them has enough space to hold every book
ever written and there are millions of
servers and whether you know it or not
you’re probably using the cloud already
all those emails you write and receive
they’re stored for all of them on your
mail providers servers
that’s the cloud you’re on so there you
have it five thousand year history of
cloud computing ninety seconds

things amazing and how it all affects
