Where are the photos and videos that we upload to our phones every day?
many times a day do you look at your phone?
A study done this year says that an average person looks at their phone 58 times. 30 out of 58 times are done at work.
The study was conducted in 47 countries. It suggests that people spend an average of three-quarters of an hour on their phones every day.
Most of the time we spend on our phones is checking social media and taking photos and videos.
According to another study, 45 thousand photos are taken every second, 196 million photos are taken every hour, and 4.7 billion photos are taken every day.
All these photos are stored in the invisible cloud.
The cloud stores not only photos, but any information we record on our phones.
The cloud, which is said to have been invented in the 1960s, is mainly provided by Apple (iCloud), Amazon (Amazon Web), Dropbox and Google.
How has the cloud changed data storage? How does it work? We asked Dr. Judge Brun, who is an expert in artificial intelligence (AI). He is a leader in international research and development at the Quantifi Institute of Technology.
What is Cloud? What's the point?
According to Dr. Judge, before the cloud was created, offices used to store information in their own central database. This means that work is done and information is stored on the office computer.
Individuals also store information on their phones or laptops, even on hard drives.
These electronics are rechargeable. They are also vulnerable to data theft.
Giant institutions like Amazon need computation for their operations.
People need computing to keep track of the products they buy online, and to suggest what they should buy next.
". . .Many data centers (data center) started to develop it as a distribution. You use this for internet marketing. Then they came up with a new business idea and started renting [the servers] to their customers,” explains the expert.
Although the idea of the cloud existed before, Amazon made it even more popular.
Individuals and institutions also store large-scale data, permanently, through cloud computing.
Cloud data is stored using the Internet, and the data is available from anywhere, on any type of electronic device, at any time.
Cloud is used to prevent data loss or to find the data in other electronic devices even if the electronic device where the data is stored is lost.
For example, when we change phones, the images, texts, videos, short text message exchanges, phone numbers and other important information from our old phone will be transferred to our new phone.
Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box are among the free ones that offer such services. The amount of data they store is huge. It also helps to keep data secure and stored permanently to prevent data theft.
“It is called cloud because it is not known where the data is physically. It is not known whether the data is stored in Texas or the Nairobi data center. The information will be stored in many places," said Dr. Judge.
Big tech companies like Microsoft and Google recommend that video, audio, document and other data be stored in the cloud.
According to Dr. Judge, apart from data storage, cloud is also used for computing.
". . .AI is access to computing power. The computing resources needed to introduce and train models are enormous. Because the resource needed for this [to consume the data] is in the cloud, it can be rented and used. The data and computing resources are available on the cloud. Cloud isn't just a distributed thing. It has centers. Computing is done at those centers through the Internet.”
Institutions rent the cloud to save on the costs of setting up and managing their own storage centers.
Information is not stored in just one buffer or hub. As long as the Internet exists, it can be accessed at any time, even with more than one electronic device.
The cloud has also contributed to the speed of various social media and internet service providers.
According to Dr. Judge, YouTube and Facebook came about because of the cloud.
The expert adds that enabling information to be obtained from different places has helped to increase the speed of technology.
