4. For this essay, you are going to be using the information
tool, Wikipedia, briefly to find original sources on the subject of cloud
computing. I want you to verify two references in Wikipedia, and write a
200-word essay on any aspect of cloud computing that you want. Look on page 290
of your textbook for some helpful hints.
Keep in mind that you will be using references found in the
Wikipedia article, and you do NOT cite Wikipedia. You are using this as a
research tool to drill down to find the factual sources.
Keep in mind that CSU has a strict policy against using
Wikipedia as a source in assignments. If you would like to view the policy, it
is available in the CSU Online Library under the “Research Tools” link.
All references and citations used must be in APA style.
