    This document discusses cloud computing and ubiquitous computing. It defines cloud computing as using computer services hosted on another organization's computers that can be accessed over the internet. Well-known cloud hosting companies include Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Rackspace. Cloud storage allows users to access and store data remotely. Benefits are only paying for storage used and availability anywhere through an internet connection. Concerns include lack of control over data and reliance on network reliability. Ubiquitous computing refers to computing integrated into any device anywhere to be connected to the internet, such as through RFID tags that can track objects and transfer stored data using radio waves. Examples of ubiquitous computing include manufacturing tires with RFID tags, airlines tracking luggage with RF
