  Let's start with the most basic: after all, what is cloud computing? In a simplified way, we can say that it is using programs and documents that, instead of being located on your computer, are in the cloud , that is, on an external server, accessed through the internet .

  The history of what cloud computing is is confused with the history of the internet itself.

  In the past, you only had access to information that was inside your computer, or on a floppy disk. Around the 60's, this started to change. But it was only in the 90s that downloading things that were online became commonplace.

  And what is this download? In general, it is downloading to your computer some information that was outside of it, on the internet, and was accessed through your data connection. This “place” on the internet is what cloud computing is.

  So let's think about it a little bit: if we have been working with content that has been located in the cloud for years, does it still make sense to be afraid of this practice? In fact, all of this is very simple.

  After all, practically everything you consume on the internet (social networks, file storage, streaming video or music) comes from cloud-based services.

  How does cloud computing work?
  Basically, whenever you access a document in the cloud, it means you’re not sure where it is. Because it is outside your physical computer, it can be on a server on the corner of your building, but also in Japan. This may seem a little scary, but it is already the most common thing in the world!
