The cloud
The cloud is not a physical thing. The cloud is a network of servers, and
each server has a different function. Some servers use computing power to
run applications or "deliver a service." For example, when you take a pic-
ture on your smartphone, it is stored on your phone's internal memory
drive. However, when you upload the photos to Instagram, you are upload-
ing it to the cloud.
So remember: The Cloud is a network of servers. Some servers provide an
online service, and others allow you to store and access data, like Insta-
gram or Dropbox. Chances are, you encounter the cloud daily. From Google
Drive to Evernote, any time you store information without using up your
phone's internal data, you're storing information in the cloud.
Location based services
LBS stands for Location-Based Service and is a software application for mo-
bile devices that requires knowledge about where the device is located.
The service can be query-based and it can provide you with useful informa-
tion such as "Where is the nearest restaurant?". The service can also be
push-based and send you coupons or let you view commute traffic. By law,
location-based services must be permission-based. That means that you
must opt in (actively say yes) to the service in order to use it.
