    Architecture: 3D-printed  buildings  or prototypes  allow for  quicker  and more  affordable
                        construction.
                       Fashion: Designers  use  3D printing  for unique  and  customisable  accessories  and  clothing

                               CLOUD COMPUTING

                     Cloud computing refers to the use of computing services—such
                     as storage, processing power and software—available over the
                     Internet. It allows users to store, manage and access data and

                     applications  from any  device,  anywhere, without  needing  to
                     keep everything on a personal computer or phone.
                     Instead,  your  files are stored  on powerful computers  called

                     servers, located in data centres. This makes it easy to access
                     your files whenever you need them.

                     BENEFITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING
                     Some benefits of cloud computing are:

                       Cost-efficiency: No need for investing in and maintaining expensive hardware or software;
                        users only pay for the resources they use.
                       Flexibility: Easy access to resources and the ability to scale services up or down as needed.

                       Security: Cloud providers often have advanced security measures, including encryption, to
                        protect data.

                       Collaboration: Cloud computing enables real-time collaboration, as multiple users can access
                        and work on the same data from different locations.

                     EXAMPLES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
                     Cloud computing enables you to access files from any device, at any time, via the Internet. Some

                     popular examples include:
                       Google Drive         : A cloud-based storage service where users can store and access files
                        from any device with an Internet connection. It also allows for real-time collaboration on

                        documents.
                       Dropbox         : A cloud storage service that lets users store, share and sync files across

                       Apple iCloud        : A cloud storage and computing service by Apple that syncs files, photos
                        and backups across all Apple devices, providing seamless integration and access.

                       Microsoft OneDrive           : A cloud storage service that integrates with Microsoft Office

                        applications, allowing users to store and access files and collaborate with others in real time.
