Suppose Alice is travelling in a rural part of a country where there is no infrastructure to access the Internet. She has taken thousands of photographs and now her phone’s memory is full. In this situation she wants to take more photos and is looking for more space to store the photos or show her photos to her friends, by uploading
her photos to her usual cloud-computing photo provider.
Likewise, suppose Bob is visiting a museum in China and looking
at a rare painting of ancient China that is described in an ancient form of native writing. Bob is unable to understand the meaning of the language because he cannot read that particular form of language.
He is now looking for someone who might be able to interpret the language or who may be interested in sharing his or her view for the same text. He knows that as a member of CloudLingual1 , a community of professional translators, he will be able to have this language translated into his own via his mobile device, but this requires Internet connectivity to access the remote translators.
