The author's knowledge from their research continue to assert that, the impetus behind cloud computing lies on the idea that it provides economies of scale by spreading costs across many client organizations and pooling computing resources while matching client computing needs to consumption in a flexible, real-time version. Identify the issues and risks that pose concern to organizations storing data in the cloud - briefly support your discussion.

We learn from our readings that the use of mobile devices in our society today has indeed become ubiquitous. In addition, CTIA asserted that over 326 million mobile devices were in use within The United States as of December 2012 - an estimated growth of more than 100 percent penetration rate with users carrying more than one device with notable continues growth. From this research, it's evident that mobile computing has vastly accelerated in popularity over the last decade due to several factors noted by the authors in our chapter reading. In consideration with this revelation, identify and name these factors, and provide a brief discussion about them. At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread.
