The World Wide Web, Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing

Video #1: The first video I watched was about "Cloud Computing", a service made to help out other businesses. I found it interesting that Lucy can utilize this service for everything that goes with her company like delivery, computers, advertising and storing her data. As well, I find it very convenient  that "Cloud Computing" is basically risk free. She doesn't have to worry about ruining her own computer and losing all the data, because "Cloud Computing" can back her up. "Cloud Computing" is a very useful service also, because it can help businesses stay organized and keep pace with all their major problems.
Video #2: The second video I watched surrounded the topic of "Cloud Computing" as well, but it was more about how it all works and what it is than the benefits of the service. It was interesting to find out that by posting images to any kind of social media website, you are already apart of Cloud Computing's services. Also, I really enjoy the fact that with "Cloud Computing" it's practically impossible to lose your favorite photos. Again, you don't have to worry about breaking your own computers, because the image is already out there, "in the cloud". People find "Cloud Computing" to be a great back up as well. It's interesting that by just posting an image online, it can be anywhere on the web! You can never lose it.
Video #3: The final video I viewed was "Web 2.0". It's interesting that every little thing we do online causes an effect on the machine. As said in the video, everytime we use links, text and other everyday things used on the web, we are teaching the machine something. Another part in the video I enjoyed and took interest in was the small details and facts that were quickly scanned through, like that a blog is created every half-second. The way the web connects us all is another thing I find very interesting! Youtube, Blogs, Twitter, all of these are places on the web that we all can connect and get to know eachothers true self. It's amazing really.
