Cloud computing represents a significant shift in how we use information technology. Storage space for digital files, processing power and services and software are abstracted away from the user's own computing device to servers accessed through the Internet. Google's online office software, the new Amazon cloud player, and photo gallery tools such as Flickr are examples of cloud services. Users can work with and use their data on multiple devices and networks from almost any location either for free or by paying a service provider for access.
