Lecture Post: Cloud Computing

The Encourage Me application is intended to lift people up in stressful times during their lives. Know a time when you are especially stressed out? Mark it down through the optimizer application and you will be blasted with a text message of encouragement from a famous inspirational person of your choosing.

Cloud computing is important for my application because, although it is not an application invented for storing items, online storage on the "cloud" is essential. This is due to the necessity of inputting personal information from the user; who they want to be encouraged by, what times they want encouragement, etc. Because the user needs to store information online, they are essentially adding their data to the cloud.

Additionally, the usage of cloud storage for the company is also a necessity. This is because the Encourage Me application can pool in quotes and information from other websites on to a place in a cloud for storage. Doing this will allow the application to essentially have its own online database for quotes, storing a lot of information without slowing down the system unit.

Furthermore, the user of the Encourage Me app can take advantage of cloud storage by allowing users to insert information about good points about their day in order to encourage them to reflect optimistically about their lives. Although storage would be simple like like that of creating a blog post, it would still be useful for this application.
