What do you know about cloud computing???

Image result for cloud computing
Cloud computing is the term used to describe technology that will replace how we currently use our computers and software applications.
The concept of cloud computing is that any device (computer invention) connected to the internet can utilize a network of computing resources.
This would include infrastructure, applications and storage for far less than what it would cost to use your own hardware, software and resources.
Additionally, it allows users to have access to applications that they would not have otherwise. Access is as simple as using an interface application or just a web browser from any location.
The cloud can allow access to millions of computers in an intelligent, scalable and redundant system with expert support.
Similar to outsourcing, the difference and advantages of cloud computing are speed, efficiency, capability and cost, particularly with the increasing popularity of smart phones and tablets.
It allows users to work from anywhere, to perform any task with any application, and to pay for only what you use.
Cloud computing is comparable to using email or online banking where you log into your account to access and manage your information. The software, applications and storage do not exist on your computer.
But unlike your email or online banking services, clouds can perform complicated engineering tasks, schematics, modeling or mathematical computations, and it can do this in a cost effective and efficient manner.
Another major advantage to cloud computing is the reliability of service.
Servers can crash, temporarily denying you online access to services and data. But cloud computing has multiple servers so you always have access.
Some concerns about cloud computing are security and the effect it will have on the computer industry.
The security concerns are similar to those regarding email and online banking.
These have proven to have reliable security protocols therefore similar advanced technology has been adopted for cloud computing.
It's anticipated that computer repair and maintenance, as well as IT employment /contracts will steadily decline as cloud computing rises in popularity.
There has been a proliferation of free public clouds appearing on the internet.
These services, often referred to as SaaS (software as a service) are easy to use, fast, reliable and very good.
You can increase your use of cloud computing to meet a high demand on your resources and you can reduce your usage during low demand. This allows you to adapt to changing conditions without making significant long term investments in personnel, computers, software and operational costs.
Hopefully, cloud computing will assist independent inventors and small businesses to be more efficient and cost effective.
At the very least, it's a leveling of the playing field.

Most Dangerous Jobs In The World

If you are looking for a more adventurous job and you are considering one from the list below, you should think twice. They might sound romantic, exciting, and well paid, but "dangerous" describes them best. We made a list of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Which one do you think sounds the most frightening? 10. Snake Milker flickr.com Source:  Snake milkers spend their days pushing snakes (certain types only) into a plastic container to extract or milk the snake. Snake venom (poison) can be used for many things, but the most important is its use in medical research or to produce "antivenom." Even though safety measures are applied, each milking process is highly dangerous. The rate of milkers who haven’t been bitten on the job is surprisingly low. Average annual salary:  $30,000 9.

Flat Earther Goes One on One With An Astronaut

Of all the conspiracy theories that have surfaced in our history, the Flat Earth Theory is certainly one of the more controversial and heavily discussed. Having had countless of individuals step up to try and disprove astronauts and scientists alike, it never fails to amuse and surprise us when it occurs. One of the more alarming approaches is when a Flat Earther argues with an astronaut on TV, and it’s hard to watch. Daily Mirror Mark Sargent of Seattle has been a conspiracy theorist who’s had quite the following with Flat Earthers. This theory has been getting a lot of traction as of late with people trying to disprove what we as humans have proved and believed for centuries. There is no real evidence to suggest the Earth is flat, with a multitude of concluding evidence that has proved that, in fact, the Earth is round. To argue against scientists is a bold action in itself, and to take it a step further to argue with astronauts who have...

The Most Groundbreaking Cancer Research of 2017

We've come a long way in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. The exciting discoveries of the past year mean more lives will be saved from cancer than ever before. Advances in immunotherapy PLENTY M/SHUTTERSTOCK Among the  completely reassuring things scientists wish you knew about cancer  is the research that's being done to eradicate the disease, in which abnormal cells multiply and take over in the body. Last year there were  over 1,685,000 cases  of cancer diagnosed, and nearly 600,000 people died. Standard therapies so far are surgery, radiation to kill the cells, and chemotherapy, which alters the DNA of cancer cells to stop them from reproducing. But radiation and chemo damage healthy cells too, so researchers have been looking for better treatments. New immunotherapy drugs use the patient's own immune cells to attack cancer. Stephen Hunger, MD, chief of the Division of Oncology, chief of the Division of Pediatric Oncology, and director...
