Cloud Computing & Bits and Bytes

Entrepreneurial Idea:

As stated in the "Entrepreneurial Idea" post, the unsend app is an app that "unsends" any unread message that you no longer want the recipient to read. The unsend app has already been created, but only for the blackberry email accounts and gmail. By making the app accessible for texting (on most phones) makes the app more sufficient because people text everyday and some people throughout the day regret sending a text message to someone.

Lecture: Cloud Computing & Bits and Bytes

Cloud computing relates to the unsend app because the data that makes the app work would be stored on a cloud computing site, such as dropbox. Cloud computing will help the unsend app by updating the program without needing someone to manually click update. Cloud computing allows the unsend app to work with wifi, since cloud computing only works when it is connected to the internet. The unsend app would use cloud computing "platform as a service" (PAAS). 

The unsend app also relates to the lecture about bits and bytes because text messages can be computed in bites and bytes. So depending how many bytes a message is, it might take longer for a longer message to "unsend" because there are more bytes of space being occupied. Bits & bytes take up space in storage, so in order to "unsend" a message those bits & bytes have to disappear.
