Application Service Providers (ASPs) offer access to basic applications from anywhere in the world. Visit the Making IT Work for You page from our site at http:// www.mhhe.com/oleary to link to some ASPs. Explore each, then answer the following questions in a one-page paper: (a) List common applications provided by ASPs. (b) What are some advantages to users of ASPs beyond universal access to software and data? (c) What concerns might a user have about personal data stored at an ASP? (d) Would you use an ASP? If so, how? If not, explain why.
