Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing.  No doubt you have heard of it but what is it?
Real basic.  Cloud Computing is where the program and data you are using is kept in a computer somewhere else.  It is the way the Internet computing is heading.  
An example is gmail or your ISP's email service.  Your email, send and received, your address book and other files are not kept on your computer.  They are all in Googles computers.  Unlike T Mobile, Google uses back ups.  Lots of them.  So, you can log into your gmail account from any computer, anywhere, as long as it is connected to the Internet.
Lot of people use Microsoft Office suite.  Even that is becoming obsolete.  Google Docs has all the same things as MS but in the cloud, free and can be used from any computer, anywhere.  Even Microsoft is coming out with a free version of Office that will be in the cloud.

Now with Drop Box you can even save your valuable file, pictures and what have you, in the cloud.  Up to 2 Giga Bits and FREE.  Here is a link where you can get started: CLICK HERE  
It really is free and just a drag and drop.  I use it every day beside my normal back up.
Oh, did you back up this week?  Just saying. . .
