Cloud Computing: A step forward?
Steven Levey: Perils of Cloud Computing
Despite the warnings evident in Levey’s article, I am uploading my music and documents to the web. The convenience of having everything available is greater than the risks. Too often, I have had computers crash and had to go through the tedious process of reloading everything. I will admit that I am using different services as a passive backup to possible loss to a particular cloud. However, it can’t be worse than a personal computer crash. What’s the concern? Is it the idea that if we physically possess it that we are in control? That’s a mistaken idea.
