⇒ Summary
Write the final version of your summary here.

Cloud computing is a way of sharing information and programs between computers

which are stored on the internet. The idea of clouding computing has been around
for many years but only until 1990s when many people began using the internet,
people could share information and programs quickly and cheaply. But by 2008,
cloud computing became very popular. Millions of people around the world used it
at home, at work and in school.
Nowadays cloud computing allow people store the information as music, photos,
files and more on the “cloud” instead of a hard driver which can break and lose
information. Also, hard drives do not easily share their information.
Companies use cloud computing to try new programs. They pay to use the
programs through the network for a certain amount of time. With this companies
save a lot of money, because they do not have to buy programs or even hire people
to install and fix them.
Cloud computing can be very useful. However, it may have problems as well,
security and privacy are aspects that need to be improved. People and companies
often are worried that other users may steal their information on the cloud. That is
why some companies prefer private clouds instead of public clouds. Private clouds
cannot be used by other people.
