Give an example, other than XenDesktop, of how you have used or might use cloud computing here in school or at work.
Everyone is going to say some sort of social networking like Facebook or Twitter. However Sentara Doctors and hospitals all use something called Sentara MyChart. You can do everything from make doctor appointments to learning your most recent test results. (So glad that rash cleared up finally.)
