Q1.
Chapter 14 –
From the week's chapter reading, we learn from the authors
that, the use of mobile devices in our society today has indeed
become ubiquitous. In addition, CTIA asserted that over 326
million mobile devices were in use within The United States as
of December 2012 – an estimated growth of more than 100
percent penetration rate with users carrying more than one
device with notable continues growth. From this research, it’s
evident that mobile computing has vastly accelerated in
popularity over the last decade due to several factors noted by
the authors in our chapter reading.
Q1: In consideration with this revelation, identify and name
these factors, and provide a brief discussion about them?
Q2.
Chapter 15
– According to Crocker and Smallwood, cloud computing
represents one of the most significant paradigms shifts in
information technology (IT) history, due to an extension of
sharing an application-hosting provider that has been around for

2. many years, and was common in highly regulated vertical
industries like banks and health care institutions. The author’s
knowledge from their research continue to assert that, the
impetus behind cloud computing lies on the idea that it provides
economies of scale by spreading costs across many client
organizations and pooling computing resources while matching
client computing needs to consumption in a flexible, real-time
version.
Q2: Even with this great news about the benefits of the cloud
computing applications, the authors have warned the business
user community regarding the dangers associated with cloud
computing applications. Please identify and name these grave
dangers/risks that pose as concerns, and briefly support your
discussion.
