The document discusses how cloud computing is changing how people communicate. It provides examples of communication tools that store data in the cloud, such as text messages, photos, videos, and social media posts. The document also outlines some benefits of cloud computing like access to more software applications and lower costs, but notes potential issues regarding privacy, security, and reliability due to dependence on internet access. It envisions a future where people rely more on cloud-based "services" rather than locally installed applications.
