Summary
The cloud is someone else’s computer.
A Closer Look
The Cloud means storing data and running programs on the Internet instead of just on your personal device. When you save photos to iCloud or Google Photos, stream music from Spotify, or use web-based apps like Google Docs, you're using the Cloud. Your files and applications live on powerful computers in data centers, accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection.
