Program Description

Description

So what is “The Cloud” anyway? The Cloud refers to the sharing of data and programs over the Internet. Here are some common examples of using the Cloud:  Sharing files or photos, backing up important data, keeping track of your schedule using Google Calendar, using online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other popular programs, using Google Docs to create and collaborate on documents, using Netflix, Spotify or Pandora, and so on. What are the advantages of using the Cloud? Is the Cloud safe? How do I save files to the Cloud? Concepts and usage of the Cloud will be demonstrated and discussed. Come and finally understand what is meant by “The Cloud”!
