Eli5: what is cloud, in computer networking terms.
In: 5
It’s a server that you are connecting to remotely that does *something* – maybe it saves data for you like game saves and photographs, maybe it lets you run software like Word or Excel so that you don’t actually need to download those programs on your own computer. The opposite would just be good old fashioned local computing – using a USB thumbdrive to back up important data or downloading and installing Microsoft Office to use it.
