We use many services that rely on cloud computing, whether we realize it or not. My first example would be Google Docs. Google Docs allows you to write text based documents which can then be distributed electronically or printed. By using your own account, you can access your documents from a variety of devices without needing an external hard drive with the files on it. The obvious advantage to this is being able to access your documents on the fly without having to have a hardcopy of it on hand, and being able to access it on whatever devices you have available, whether that is a smartphone, laptop, tablet, or desktop. Without the cloud computing the application would still be useful, seeing that at its core it is a document writing application, you could still make use of it and just export the files to an external drive. The cloud functionality adds an ease of access and better quality to it. I personally do not worry as much about a security breach seeing that it is a Google application. Google Drive is another cloud computing application I often use. Google Drive is entirely reliant upon cloud computing, with its main function being a storage place for images, audio, text documents, and other files. It allows you to store files within the application and access them through other devices by simply logging into your account. Without cloud computing it would not be functional at all. Again my security and privacy concerns are the same because it is another Google application.
