Online Applications- Online applications applications are things such as PowerPoint, Word and Excel. Online applications have the functionality and data on a server which is accessed over the internet so you may only need an internet connection and a web browser to use them. They don't need anything on your computer to download them as they are fully hosted tools. Changes on these tools are easy to do and not very pricey. Web 2.0- A Web 2.0 site will allow users of the site to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community. In addition to websites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites,blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services and web applications, these would be sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Blogs- Blogs (short for web-log) could be anything from a webpage for a school account for posting work onto, or even just your thoughts on something which you then posted on the internet. Mostly blogs are based on an particular subject and this way people can communicate using these such as if somebody were to post a blog about cycling, users could comment on the blog to get their view across and then this could start a debate on the matter. As a result of this i believe blogs are a good way to communicate using the internet. Cloud Computing- Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (usually the Internet). The name comes from the common use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation. An example of this would be an App on your phone, such as Facebook or Twitter, which you can use at anytime anywhere as long as you have a connection to the internet
