Web Browsers require a distributed network to run. They involve applications on your computer but also servers hosting the world wide web for access and data storage. Amazon is also an application that uses the cloud. Web browsers may work, but the information available wouldn’t be as extensive, and the information could not evolve and grow. Amazon wouldn’t be amazon without that cloud, there wouldn’t be so many sellers and other options on the site. With web browser and Amazon, the application grows with its users when it uses the cloud. Yes, there are privacy concerns just because of the fact that the cloud is for information storage, but as long as the information is confidential, it’s fine. Cloud services are awesome and what allows our many applications and systems grow and store information.
