Cloud Computing Cloud computing can be used by individuals
(single people) or companies. The way that people and
businesses use cloud computing may be different. Individual
users generally use cloud computing to store information. Many
people collect a large amount of information on their computers.
This information can include music, photos, and files for school
or work. At first, people had to store this information on their

2. Many people thought that the Internet was a cloud that carried information around the
world. In 2008, cloud computing was becoming very popular. Millions of people around
the world used it at home, work and school

3. This information may include music, photos, and files for school or work. At first, people
had to store this information on their hard drive. A hard drive is the part of a computer
that contains information. Sometimes hard drives can break and lose information. Also,
hard drives don't easily share your information. Many people want to share their
information with friends and family. They may also want to access or access your
information using mobile devices.
4. They buy or rent cloud storage space on the Internet. They can then access your
information on any computer or other device that can connect. Other times, people use
cloud computing to test new programs. They pay to use the programs over the network
for a certain period of time. Cloud computing is also important for businesses. For years,
many companies struggled with the programs. Programs change often.

5. That can be difficult to install or configure. Many of these companies have turned to
cloud computing. These companies can buy or rent time to use a cloud network. In this
network, workers can use all the newest programs. They can also use the cloud network
to store and share their information.
6. It allows workers to use the best new programs over the Internet. It even allows
companies to create their own programs within the cloud network. It allows workers to
use the best new programs over the Internet. It even allows companies to create their
own programs within the cloud network.
7. Empowers workers to use the best new software on the Internet. It even allows
companies to create their own programs within the cloud network.

Staying safe in the cloud

⇒ Summary
Write the final version of your summary here.
Cloud computing can be very helpful. However, you can also have problems. Users may
have security or safety issues. They may also have privacy issues. Privacy means not being
seen by others. One problem is that large companies run cloud computing. These
companies can close. They may have problems with their machines. This means that users
cannot use the cloud. Businesses can also decide to charge more money. Cloud users will
have to pay more to get to their information. Some people worry that other users might
steal information in a cloud. Companies that have cloud networks can even claim to have
all the information.
