Rather than have all your programs and files stored on your computer,you'll access them from remote servers wherever you go,so there's no excuse for leaving an important document at home anymore!

Never an excuse .. or better..never have to worry.. I think that's great what else can you access? Can you access other things.. Does cloud computing give you access to other appls..like microsoft office and things?

That's the idea..the internet is stored on servers all over the world..cloud computing just takes that concept and applies it to your Job too,so you needn't be tied to a desktop machine or an office building any more..wherever you are with your portable computer,you could be at work..

Gotomypc offers something like that. BUt that is access only to your own personal computer. Doesn't cloud computing allow you to share applications from one common source? Or am I completely wrong?
