This slideshare was discussing the different aspects of cloud computing.  An example given was like cloud control can be compared to either renting or building a home.  When you build a home you are in charge of everything! You decide the walls, tiles, floors, etc., but you are also in charge of the upkeep with the lawn, cleaning, maintenance, etc. However, with renting, you may not have as much say with the decor, but you also do not have to worry about the maintenance. From what I understand of cloud computing, you can decide what you wish to send to the cloud and have other people complete for you.Also, it has unlimited storage and it is very reliable. It also appears as if you pay as you go so customers don’t have to pay for something they potentially are not using. According to the slideshare you are losing control, but you are saving time. http://www.slideshare.net/Guppers/im-cloud-confused
