I've been hearing a lot about the 'cloud'. What is it, and what are its benefits?

The cloud is a metaphor for the internet. It’s a way of describing how data is stored and accessed over the internet. The cloud is an important concept because it allows users to access their data from anywhere. This means that you can access your files, photos, and documents from any device with an internet connection. Additionally, the cloud provides security by storing your data in multiple locations, making it harder to lose or have stolen. Cloud computing also has other advantages such as cost savings and scalability.
