Head in The Clouds

Cloud computing is everywhere nowadays, companies every where are starting to convert over to using clouds. The cloud makes things a lot simpler because companies or private users don't have to worry about managing hardware and software which is done by the host company.(Griffin,2013) Cloud works by users accessing or storing information from a cloud host instead of their own computer.(Griffin, 2013) As the cloud business projects billions in profits most large U.S. companies are planning on joining cloud environments.(Kaplan, 2013) I think the cloud is changing the way we do business and the way we use our personal devices. My biggest fears about cloud computing are that it will grow too fast, or someone will misuse the information. Despite my fears I know the cloud will do a lot of good things. If you are like me you were probably in a cloud and didn't even know it, for instance I didn't know that Netflix used Amazon as a cloud service.(Griffith, 2013) Now I guess the saying will be get your head in the clouds; not out of them.
