Cloud computing allows users to access data and applications over the internet instead of locally on their own computers. It provides benefits like reduced costs, increased storage, flexibility and scalability. However, it also poses risks to privacy, security and reliability if the internet connection or cloud provider experiences issues. Blockchain is a distributed database that records transactions in a way that allows multiple parties to access and update the same data transparently. It has applications in areas like digital identity, voting, notarization and smart contracts that could transform daily life through increased security and efficiency of transactions. Both cloud computing and blockchain impact daily life through enabling new services and changing how data is stored, accessed and shared globally over the internet.
