Cloud Computing

Cloud computing defines too storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive, it is now a common way of storing large amounts of data because of the ease of use but you hard drive will fill up easier. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet therefore you do not have control of were the file ends up in a way, someone else is in control of your data so it can be accessed by other people. This is a dangerous issue in society because confidential information can be accessed, another thing that is considerably dangerous is the possibility of Government intrusion. The cloud initializes the government to use what information it likes because the information is technically on the "internet" even though it is private. The safety of the cloud is uncertain because of the lack of standardization, meaning everyone's safety is different and constantly changing. Being that the cloud is so hard to comprehend there is little to no support.

Wireless Tech 

Wireless technology is a way of the future we have evolved into. Wireless technology is the use of technology in the sense of having no wires, it is a definite for most products now days and is used to create an easier experience. Wireless technology enables you to use something without physically touching it. some risk factors to wireless technology are as follows.

I ntrusion  - being wireless technology it is easy for unwanted intruders to use networks access unless protective measures are made and this may result in a greater chances to theft or misuse of information contained on networks, unauthorized destruction or modification of data, and abuse of network capacity.

E xploitation - exploitation is a huge risk of using wireless technology. Network access can be exploited and can be misused to launch denial of service (dos) attacks, it can also be used to do other illegal criminal activity's.

NBN

NBN stands for national broadband network. In our local country of Australia, the NBN is very slow going around a speed of 50 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload over NBN fibre. This speed tier provides your service provider with wholesale access speeds of 100 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload over NBN fibre. The national broadband network has been criticized by the Australian public for being much to slow and no signs of true improvement.
