What is Cloud Computing and Web 2.0



Cloud computing is a system of services that is offered via the internet.  The only thing needed from the consumer is internet and a computer.  The consumer can use/purchase as little or as much of the service as they choose.
The apps are stored and managed via a shared data center.  Apps are available for consumer and business professionals alike.

Web 2.0 reated and used by our social society, it enables us to stay completely connected from anywhere!
Web 2.0 apps include many that we use everyday! There is everything from socail networking like facebook and twitter to photo and video sharing like Flicker and You Tube and so much more!  Since all these applications are "web-based" I can access them from any internet computer.  I can check my facebook at home, on my friends ipad or even at the library computer.

Cloud computing and Web 2.0 enable people to work, share, socialize etc... from anywhere with out being tied down to a single PC.
