 "Cloud" computing refers to the storing of your applications and your data on a remote internet server, accessible from any computer using a browser.
Not only does this make it easy for you to access your documents from anywhere that there is a (fast) Internet connection, but you can also easily share your documents with others in a designated group.
This fundamental change in the idea of "a network", and how it is accessed, has come about due to the widespread availability of reliable broadband internet access. But we have to remember that this access is still only limited to a small proportion of the general population.
It is still early days!
