Instagram is a social media where people can post, share images, and text/call each other.
- Would this application/system work as well NOT in the cloud?
I would say that without the cloud, Instagram definitely would not be fun to work with. The whole point of Instagram is to socialize and share things.
- What are the advantages to having this system on a distributed network?
You are able to interact with others, and even share videos. There’s a function on the video calls that enables the users to watch the same Reels (they’re kind of like Instagram’s version of TikTok) at the same time.
- Do you have any security or privacy concerns when using this system?
Hackers and other malicious internet users could manipulate the user into giving them, money, information, and other things.
- Anything else you’d like to share about cloud services.
You can also have multiple different accounts and be on them at the same time.
Minecraft
Minecraft is a multiplayer and singleplayer game where you have to survive in a blocky world. You can mine, build, and craft things by collecting things around you.
- Would this application/system work as well NOT in the cloud?
I don’t think the multiplayer function would work, so a large part of the game would be missing, but you could play it by yourself and still make it fun.
- What are the advantages to having this system on a distributed network?
Players can engage in multiplayer, share servers, and more.
- Do you have any security or privacy concerns when using this system?
Not really, just keep in mind not to share personal information over the internet, or leave your account open and unattended in a public place.
- Anything else you’d like to share about cloud services.
