In Reply to: owning my 'own' information....cloud computing and web 2.xx is out of control posted by Tom Schuman on October 21, 2014 at 09:21:51:
My main computer interest these days is digital photography, which is dominated by the elephant in the room, Adobe. In contact with other photographers, I can say that there is a backlash against Adobe and others trying to force users into cloud subscriptions. They entice new users with low fees, but when this bus gets rolling, I'm sure that will quickly escalate.
Beside the privacy issue, is the complete reliance on internet's unreliable performance, and forced trust of personal goods in the hands of others.
Many service providers are pushing for cloud operation for programs that now work with confidence on users' stand alone computers.
There are many unsavory facets to this cloud issue.
