The cloud-powered vending machine
A touchscreen vending machine makes use of cloud software to give customers a more personalized experience.
Inside the vending machine is a smart phone that does all the work with the cloud and sends feedback from every
transaction a person makes. In turn, it is able to gather information to help meet the needs of the users of the vending
machine.
Better encryption
Cloud computing, since it cannot be seen nor felt by the users, gives the people who use it peace of mind by
imposing good security measures. The cloud now has encrypted files which make it impossible for other individuals
to search contents even if the person searching is an authorized user. Because of such technology, businesses
are able to parse their data without really compromising their security.
Access from different devices
There is an increased emphasis on being able to access files from different kinds of devices not just office computers and laptops, but mobile phones, tablets, and just about any other device which can be
connected to the Internet. Today, most cloud service providers have the option for users to use their services as
they would be able to if they are using a PC but at cheaper and more convenient rates. This makes working with
a mobile workforce possible and also makes updating and sharing files easier for the people involved as long as
they have access to the Internet.
