Cloud Computing Introduction

I am taking the CLOUD COMPUTING course as an elective so I can obtain my bachelors degree and graduate in the Summer of 2011. I have had Dr. Stevens for 3 computer classes so far, and not only enjoy her as a teacher, but also the classes she teaches. There is always something new to learn on the Internet or about computers.
  • I found out about this course after I finished my last course with Dr.S, Spreadsheet Applications.
  • So far, I have learned how to utilize google, so I can personalize it. I also just got a smart phone and am thoroughly enjoying how I can sync my Gmail acct to my phone so I can get emails and access to my calendar on my phone. 
  • Advantages of cloud computing are being able to access files anywhere. That is actually why I first created my Gmail account. I needed to be able to check my emails from any computer, instead of just my computer at home. 
  • The only disadvantage I have found is I was not too crazy about the layout of the Gmail compared to my past email server/provider. I have gotten over this small  dislike because of the convenience of this service.
I love google, and my Gmail account. I am excited to learn more features of this program.
