Presentation by Liming Liu

I used this introductory slideshare to try and wrap my head around the cloud computing concept.   I’d consider myself pretty tech savy and knowledgeable in the terminology area but the best way I can think of CC is a large network of pay to use software.  Rather than purchasing individual programs I consider CC like a larger more enhanced version of Itunes.  On Itunes you can purchase entire cd’s or tv series, or individual episodes and songs.  This would extend to applications and other programs in a CC network.  I’m not fully sure if this what CC is about but before I would ever consider using such an open network the presentations warn about security, privacy and regulation, however I also found that many large technology companies are getting involved with CC so it will be something to watch for in the future.
