The Cloud?

So last Thursday we were talking about this thing called the "Cloud." It's apparently supposed to be the new hard drive of our time... but instead of being tangible (as in being able to throw it at someone or the wall if it isn't working up to your standards) it's up in the thing we like to call the Internet, hanging out so that if our computer crashes we can access it without a problem. Well, I kind of have a problem with it. 


Call me old fashioned, but I don't think that I trust ALL of my precious information to float around somewhere that I don't even know where it's located (Ironic that I keep a blog and a facebook huh?! I'm talking about files here people.). At least I know that when I put something on my external hard drive, I know where it's located. My external is either stuffed somewhere in my purse or in my computer case cover that is somewhere at the bottom of my suitcase (because I'm always traveling somewhere). 


Let's face it. I know big corporations are already transferring all of their data into/onto the "Cloud," but seriously... I could probably call up one of my nerd friends from GT (Georgia Tech) and they could figure out some way to hack into someone's "Cloud." I don't care how "secure" the makers of the Cloud think it is, there is always a way to hack into the system. I'm not the only one who is having second thoughts about this Cloud thing. Technology can do wonders, but it can also cause a great deal of destruction... So, I'll stick to my little external hard drives, just like I'll stick to my paperback books instead of switching to Kindles. What are your thoughts? Until next time... Get your learn on.
