The Power of “The Cloud”
in recent years, the world has been overtaken by the rise of cloud computing. It seems that anything and everything can be done in the cloud today and that this is clearly the wave of the future. Of course, cloud computing doesn't come without its drawbacks. Many users are concerned about the potential privacy breaches or things like having their data harvested and used to advertise to them. But overall, cloud computing offers a ton of powerful benefits, particularly for eliminating digital overwhelmed and clutter the first and most obvious benefit to cloud computing is redundancy. Many of you will be old enough to remember a time when if you lost your laptop dropped it or had some kind of freak our drive failure. You were out of luck with cloud computing. All of your files are stored in centralized servers which are often backed up multiple times by the service provider. This means that losing our files is much, much more difficult and therefore our files are paradoxically much safer ...
when we aren't the ones responsible for storing them. The next major benefit is centralization. When we store information on the cloud, it is no longer kept in various different repositories. Instead of having to worry about which files and which versions of those files are kept on each of our various devices were able to work from a central resource. This makes it incredibly easy to have all of the files you need anywhere you go, even if you aren't on your own devices, all you need is a login and you have all the files, contacts, photos and other resources that you need. What's more because cloud computing solutions mean that you work directly off of the server. You never need to worry about version control or having different people see different versions of a document. An added benefit to centralization. Is that your organizational structure remains the same from device to device to device. Unlike in the olden days when you had to manually organize files on each of your devices such as your work computer and your personal computer when you use cloud services, you only need to organize once because of all of these benefits this course and the strategies we teach in it lean heavily towards cloud based solutions using these cloud solutions makes it much easier to design systems that are robust and easy to maintain. That's why we suggest cloud solutions for critical data such as contacts, calendars, financial information and files as well as for less critical data ranging from photos and music all the way to personal journals and home videos though there are some things you will certainly want to keep off of the cloud for the most part this course is going to teach you how to seamlessly integrate your digital lives, both new and old leveraging the cloud. And not to worry because we're going to teach you how to ensure that all of your information is backed up so that you're never fully dependent on a nameless faceless tech company. For your data in short you'll find that the cloud is going to be the backbone of your digitally de cluttered world. For many of you, this may take some adjusting, but not to worry, we're going to take it slow one tool at a time and give you time to play with and practice as you go over time. You'll start to see why life on the cloud is so much simpler and easier.

This class is well organized and flows well. There is one thing I do NOT like is the reference to another class in the Syllabus: "Kill The Chaos of Information Overload with Evernote Webinar" The webinar has only one good tip, use Tabs in Evernote. The webinar hypes more tips if you buy the course by Charles Bird. I bought the course for $197 which was listed as a discount from a much higher price. The course is poorly assembled, out of date, and hardly worth more than a few dollars. It assembled with a bunch of short videos, each video starts after he is talking and ends before he is finished. Evernote Scanner is no longer made and Evernote no longer supports the software.
