We use it every day, but we’re not really sure what it means. The Cloud has slowly become part of our lives and touches much of the technology we use today. You can’t understand the world of your children and grandchildren unless you spend some time exploring the Cloud. During this study group, we will use lectures and demonstrations to examine the terminology that explains the mechanics of how the Cloud functions. We will review the major players that dominate the Cloud such as Google, Apple, and Microsoft. We will also review the primary applications that are being used such as file storage, music and video streaming, and how to stay safe while using the Cloud.
