CLOUD COMPUTING

I decided to break down the major aspects of cloud computing into 6 major categories since there's six of us in the group. 
The contents are as follows: 

- Intro/History (good for an introduction)
- Characteristics/Advantages
- Layers & Architecture (i.e. how it works)
- Types of Clouding
- Companies adopting the technology (i.e. MS, Intel, IBM, etc also with a focus on Canada)
- Implications for the Future/Conclusion

What is Cloud Computing?
According to wikipedia, cloud computing is a model for IT services based on the Internet that typically involves 
the provision of dynamically scalable  and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet. 

What does that mean? Well, in a cloud computing system, there's a significant workload shift. Local  computers no longer have to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to  running applications. The network of computers that make up the cloud  handles them instead. Hardware and software demands on the user's side  decrease. The only thing the user's computer needs to be able to run is  the cloud computing system's interface software, which  can be as simple as a Web browser, and the cloud's network takes care of  the rest.
