For many years people sought to network, because networks

help people share information. Although networking was
difficult, by 1990 people already had the internet.

Some companies formed ASPs that offer people a way to rent

software so they don't have to buy it. And in the 2000s, cloud
computing was created.

Cloud computing is used by people or companies to store

Cloud information such as photos, videos, music, or files. You can buy
Computing or rent storage space in the cloud and then access your
information on any device that can connect.

Businesses use cloud computing to store and share their

information. Cloud computing enables workers to use the best
new software on the Internet and saves money.

Cloud computing can bring security and privacy issues for users
as there are not many laws to protect people from information
loss. People should be careful and should only work with
companies they trust.
