The cloud that's not in the sky

Share |

Thursday, August 30, 2012

'The cloud' is nothing to do with the weather, but more than half of us think it is. 

Cloud-computing, is a way keeping information on remote internet servers, that we can retrieve from our computers, tablets and smartphones.

If you have an Internet connection, you've proboably used the cloud by uploading pictures to Facebook or other social networking sites, using a web-email service like Gmail, or sharing files through services like DropBox.

How many of us know that though? Researchers have found 51 per cent of us assume storms and high winds can cause us to to lose our data. Not so!

So now when someone mentions 'The cloud', you can genuinely know what they're on about - one in five in the survey though, admitted they pretended to know, but didn't have a clue!
