Cloud Computing


Do you know ‘Cloud Computing’? Cloud Computing is computing technology based on the Internet. The term “cloud” means the Internet. Cloud computing is a cloud, in other word the Internet which becomes our computer. It’s a software service based on Web served form utility data server in the Internet. We can work in the internet on anything with a computer, like making documents, saving documents or files, sharing files and so on.



Cloud computing has many features. Above all, it is completely dependent on the internet. And there is no limit to device, time and place. Every computing environment is offered in forms of virtual service. It’s easier to use than installing programs on our own laptop or computer. And there is no waste of memory, we can choose applications what we need. Data in cloud is permanent before we delete. So, there is no concern about losing datas by a mistake like turning off laptop without saving our works or unexpected defect of computers. Also sharing data is more easier because they are in the cloud.





That, Cloud Computing is a great technology, is a fact absolutely but there are some of weaknesses. Cloud Computing perfectly relied on the Internet. If we were at weak internet communication environment, we can’t be provide that services properly. Security of our data can be threatened. When the data server of could computing vendor is attacked, our data can be disclosed to outside even get damaged. Since our data be managed by Cloud Computing service vendors, we have to trust them completely whether we like or not. And there can exist hard constraints or heavy cost for using applications.




Nevertheless all of the weakness, Cloud Computing technology is essential clearly in the 21 century. Can you expect changes in progress of cloud computing? Maybe, computers will be very compact and light because they just need to access the internet. And every service is offered with their own tools so the illegal approaches to service are more easier to prevent. Also more and more people will telecommute as they can access, revise and supervise their project anywhere even many people on one project at the same time.




Fortune said “Cloud computing declare death of PC but bring out abundant digital lives.” Cloud computing is very important technology. I wish you would have an interest in cloud computing and use it effectively. If you want to know more about Could Computing, these videos and the link of Wikipedia can help you to understand what the Could Computing is.

Tip for bike rental in Yeouido Han River Park

Spring's coming, the weather is warmer and the flowers bloom. Cherry Blossoms bloomed earlier than usual. Last week, I went to Yeouido Han River Parkone of the well known places for the Cherry Blossom.


I used to go there to ride a bike. Han River Parks are a nice place for bicycle riders. Bicycle rental shops are set up in 8 districts in order to provide users with convenience. Among many Han River Parks, Yeouido Han River Park is the best.



Normally, I got there by subway line No.5, Yeouinaru Station. Nearby the station, there is a bike rental shop, 3000 won per 1 hour. After 1 hour, extra charge is 500 won per 15 minutes. And identity card is essential for rental. 


But I knew a good tip last week. Nearby Dangsan station on line No.2, there is a free bike rental shop. Service hours for a free bike is much longer with 10 hours. To rental a bike, should to join the website and register T-money card. Dangsan station is easier to go, cause it's on line No.2 same as my home or university, while the Yeouinaru station needs transit. It is 10-15 minutes by bike between Dangsan station and Yeouido Han River Park.

Yesterday's rain made the Cherry Blossoms be gone but yet Yeouido Han River Park is a good place to go on a picnic. So I recommend this way to rental a bicycle for free to people thinking a picnic to Yeouido Han River Park. Attached is a link of website for free bike rental : https://bike.ydp.go.kr/index.html.
