Why will anyone NEED a PC anymore if they use Google Apps and cloud computing?
Yes, because not everyone can or wants to use google apps.
Cloud computing. Lol.
Gonna need a little networking speed before I could put my 2.2tb on “The Cloudsternet”
Do you REALLY Trust Google with your documents?
The same reason “anyone” needed a PC back in the day, when we had dumb terminals, running from IBM mainframes, DEC VAX’s etc. Not to mention I wouldn't trust any documents of mine to Google, where 97% of their executives contributed to the biggest communist this country has ever seen in the White House, Barak 0bama.
There is nothing new about any of this.
Privacy. Local storage, The ability to keep your data off the internet.
For many purposes, storing your documents on Google Apps would be entirely unacceptable. The risk of data leaks are too great.
Android is onboard computing. Chrome cloud computing.
After the dot com crashes few people are likely to go strictly online data storage for anything important or cherished.
Every year or two some computer consortium tries to re-introduce dumb terminals, but in never has more than niche success. There is a reason for that.
