There is no such thing as the cloud.

It’s just someone else’s computer.

Yeah cloud is great. Free unlimited storage until they start charging you for it. Apple saves a nice backup of your phone and all your pictures but the 64 gig phone is bigger than the 5 free gigs so it fills up and then it nags you about not having enough space but you can buy more. And Amazon gives you free unlimited music storage but takes it away two years later. And Google sells you 100 gigabytes but then it fills up by saving every single change to every single document that you save and then when you trash your files it handles them one at a time. And don’t forget they can search every word and index every phrase and provide targeted advertising specifically for you.

No thank you. I can buy a 4 terabyte hard drive for 100 bucks. If I don’t trust it I can buy another and make a copy.

It would be good for everybody if new employees could develop job skills without college debt.
