Cloud Computing:

 Hardware and software programs are delivered over a network and seen as a service, these are not stored on the user's computer instead they are stored on a network at a different single location. This means less storage space is used up on the user's computer; the use of this reduces the number of performance and also intensive actions the user's computer must undergo. The user has to log in to the service to gain access then they can easily be able to use the programs they need to use.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 sites may allow users to interact with each other in a social media dialogue as makers of user generated content in a virtual conversation, in contrast to websites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services; web applications. Social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites and web applications are all in the same category. Web 2.0 uses JavaScript this is to make it able to upload or download new data from a web server without having undergoing a full page reload. This allows users to be able to interact with the page by separating communications For example data requests going to the server and data going back to the page. A few examples of this is the Timeline on twitter, this will constantly continue to refresh itself even though the user does not refresh the another example is comments section on YouTube which will refresh whilst a user watches a video.

Web blogs

Web blogs are usually linked with social interaction in a virtual world between users this is usually done by the passing of information sent from different IP addresses along a server to then a different user who then receives the sent message. This allows users to interact with each other and pass messages along a server. The server will then be given a timer to refresh automatically which will then allow the page to update so the users can then see new comments that have been sent or a message that has been delivered to them all this refreshing of the page allows the information to pass.

Online applications

Online applications are now used and more successful due to the updating of modern technology such as smartphones and android markets. Online applications use cloud computing as this is not done from the user’s computer. Apps on phones are now very popular especially when it comes to iPhones or top of the range smartphones a number of apps become a huge success.  The apps are a document saved onto a server for example the app store this then can pass information to another users computer for example after you download from the app store it can be saved onto your computer.
