This presentation discusses cloud computing and crowdsourcing. Cloud computing allows software and documents to be stored on remote servers accessed via the internet rather than a local computer. This provides benefits like cost efficiency, unlimited storage, backup/recovery, and easy access from anywhere. However, it also poses security and connectivity issues. Crowdsourcing involves outsourcing tasks to a large network of people. While it can help get work done cheaply, it can also be unreliable and expose ideas. The presentation examines how businesses use cloud computing and common crowdsourcing platforms and tasks. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages to consider.

2. INTRODUCTION
Although documents can be accessed from other computers on the
network, they can’t be accessed by computers outside the network.
This is PC-centric.
With cloud computing, the software programs one use aren’t run
from one’s personal computer, but are rather stored on servers
accessed via the Internet.
 If a computer crashes, the software is still available for others to
use. Same goes for the documents one create; they’re stored on a
collection of servers accessed via the Internet.

3. meaning
The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet
to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server .

4. CLOUD COMPUTING IN BUSINESS
Businesses are running all kinds of apps in the cloud, like customer
relationship management (CRM), HR, accounting, and much more. Some of
