As it happened when god created the mighty humans lesser did he know that from being uncouth, barbaric race they would emerge to become the finest creature that ever lived. And if anything here is to be taken as quintessential for lending voice to the aforesaid remarks then the ongoing 21st century stands testimony to it. Gratitude to globally recognized giants who put their hands up to be counted, that being likes of Microsoft, Google, and Apple. And soon the steady revival of the innovation in tech realm begun and everything is conceivable today. Professionals from across the globe keep beating the pre-exiting ones and try to bestow us with yet robust and dependent technology at our fingertips. It was 7-8 decades ago that a 1 MB hard drive would be heavy enough to be carried on a truck with another 4-5 persons lending their helping hands to see it move. It would be so enormous in size and turn out to be quite a costly affair in the bargain. Needless to say, it was a nightmare for the user as long as it wasn't meant for some corporate office. Years breezed past and humans sought comfort and elegance everywhere. It was the field of technology where the world saw an influx of most progressive ideas on a broader gauge.
Today the storage hard disk has been reduced to a chip, or say ultra minute drives, which has not only ended the load tethering but is cost effective too. Thanks to the VLSI and chip technology where the massive Integrated Circuits has taken over for those bulky metallic components, and gave a massive break in designing smart objects, so feathery light yet so capable. Today zettabytes of memory can be housed in a case aptly fitted in our palm. But even this was too much to ask for most of us and in this era presided by Hi-speed internet, and technology reaching unprecedented heights carrying a baggage bothers us much as does our ill fitted cloth. And this has actively or passively bred the technology pronounced as cloud storage which is a virtual storage in the world of internet, all you got to do is take the pain to remember the password of the relevant online account. Lest it slips out of mind, links to forgotten passwords are always in the reckoning.
If I were to discourse this thing in a strictly technical terminology then it is a model of data powerhouse where digital data is housed in logical pools, whose physical environment is typically owned and managed by the host companies. It can be accessed through collocated cloud computer services which apparently is a web service application programming interface. Though it was discovered in the 1960s but it was reborn by a second proposal in 2006 notably by amazon web services and since then has come a long way with most of the MNCs using this technology as a platform to compute their tasks and keep a tab of everything and store everything online. With the likes of employee database, in process details, documents and other vital information being saved so easily, it is such an asset indeed. Plus the sync option grants us the luxury of not uploading every bit of information, all you got to take pain is ensure a healthy internet connectivity and rest can be taken care of subsequently. Of late the clients to these vendors have shown tremendous nerves to acknowledge the technology and have adapted to it quite efficiently. The likes of Google and Apple have also accorded us with a big option in Dropbox, drive, and icloud. In the premature stage, they help us with some prescribed storage data and later the enormous amount of the same can be purchased varying the requirements.
There are not much of cons except for a couple of pressing concerns in hacking and if possible then poor internet connectivity. Well, internet connectivity has cloaked the lengths and breadths of the globe but yet the flamboyant speed and flawless connectivity cloud technology seeks is still a distant dream as anything less than a Hi-speed broadband would suffice its cause. A wider sharing of data too can lead to it being compromised. Next, being the biggest threat of cyber realm is unethical hacking. And here data encryption can evade the possibility of erroneous action and bug activity and further leakage of information can be mitigated. Lest self-caution and spiked acumen always remain the basics.
And as regards the pros much has been aforesaid. But again if I were to put it short and crisp I would go with parting lines like it has been such an asset to our us and blah blah blah. no seriously, what we saw earlier was that internet turned the globe into a village here cloud reduces everything to an apartment. Go ahead and share an unlimited amount of fun with as many people you want. And let it rain clouds !!!
