                 Cloud Storage

                 Previously we store data in various types of devices such as CDs, DVDs and Pen Drives. Now,
                 we can store our data on the cloud storage instead of storing on the local computers. The data

                 stored on cloud storage can be accessible from anywhere in the world. A cloud storage is a
                 service where the users are able to store and manage data on remote server in place of their local
                 computer. This service has become immensely popular because:
                     The users need to incur cost of storage devices. They can access storage on remote servers
                     by paying a nominal fee only.
                     The users can access their data from anywhere by logging in to their cloud storage account.

                     The users can also access software and application for limited use which are very expensive
                     to purchase.
                 Some popular service providers offering cloud storage services are Google Drive, Amazon Web
                 Services, Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc.
                 Safety Measures to be Kept in Mind While Using Internet


                 Following are some of the important guidelines you should remember while using Internet services:
                     Never provide personal information, such as address, phone number, or school name or
                     location.
                    Keep your browser's privacy settings ON.

                    Use the Internet only in the presence of your elders.
                    Don not share passwords (other than your parents or teachers).
                     Never meet with anyone who met online without your parent permission and/or supervision.

                     NETIQUETTES

                 Etiquettes are the rules that are expected to be followed while meeting or communicating with
                 others. In online communication, you may not be face to face with the person. There may be a

                 situation when the person may misunderstand your remark. In order to avoid misunderstanding,
                 a set of rules have been designed. This set of rules is known as Netiquettes. It basically stands
                 for Network Etiquettes.
