Not a cloud in the sky today to use as a model. This post isn't about real clouds anyway, it's about those technical clouds. That cloud my iPad keeps wanting the password for (and I cancel instead), or the Cloud my Mac wants to save anything I download from the internet to, and I change it to save to my hard drive. You see I have a confession to make, I don't understand clouds, and since I don't understand them, I don't trust them either. What exactly is a cloud anyway? Is it some server in Thailand that will store all my data? Will I get a bill for storage someday? Will the cloud rain if I don't pay up and lose all my data? Is it better than the backup drive I already have. I saw an ad for a 'personal' cloud, looked a lot like an external drive to me… hum? Do you use the cloud? Do you understand the cloud? Do you trust clouds? Do you have a personal cloud?
