⇒ Summary
Write the final version of your summary here.

Cloud computing has become a popular way of storing and sharing information.
Through the last decades, the data has increased, and normal drivers were not
enough to keep the data that’s why new alternatives were necessary. With the
invention of the Internet, it was easier to network. People could easily rent a
computer program such as application service providers (ASPs) to share information
and programs. But it was not until 2000 where cloud computing emerged as one
important mode of describing the Internet itself. Considering the Internet as a cloud
that carries information around the globe and connects people no matter where they
are, really transforms the way society and its citizens cope with each other and with
the thousands of data we currently have.
Cloud computing is used by companies and people all the time, there are different
sorts of clouds like private, public, and hybrid. Each one has its benefits and threats.
All this leads us to carefully evaluate the challenges cloud computing might represent
since there are security and privacy risks that one could face when storing sensitive
information on the Internet.
