This goes along with the CourseCast for the week of September 21st. In the CourseCast, it introduces the federal governments new concept of cloud computing. The Apps store that the government owns has a great video on the homepage that talks more about what cloud computing has to offer. What it doesn’t do is tell us what the other side (negative aspects) of it are. Please watch the short video on the Apps.gov homepage. In the comments – discuss one advantage of this type of service. Then you need to go do some research. They don’t tell us any of the disadvantages or problems that may arise with this concept, but there are some places that you can find that out. Research cloud computing and leave an additional comment about what some of the drawbacks are and why we should be concerned. (Hint – in the transcript there are some articles that you could use, or search for cloud computing. Wikipedia has some info)
