Anyone who trusts their life totally “in the cloud” deserves what happens to them when it all goes to crap

Remember- Obama has his finger on the internet kill switch. And even after him, The Government has its finger on the internet kill switch.

So, what do you use your computer for that is not connected in anyway to the Internet?

Free Republic? No, Internet?

Email? No, Internet.

Online shopping? No, Internet.

Facebook (I do NOT use, but billions do)? No, Internet.

I work from home. My entire livelihood is tied up in having access to remote systems, cloud services & storage, and communications with my coworkers, either through online video/audio, chat, email and texting.

There is so much about computing that requires the Internet that a computer that’s never online is hardly useful.

Sure, some may have this or that program they use that runs entirely on the PC—data and code—but for the vast majority of users out there, whether using a smart phone, a tablet a laptop or a personal computer, not having Internet would really be a show stopper.

So, no Internet, no computing. Nothing wrong with that, but the two are tied at the hip.
