Am I the only person still paranoid about having my operating system and all my data stored on the Internet?
I'm sure there will be advances in how we store data and run applications over the next five years. However, I still can't imagine moving all the data and applications currently stored on my private home network to the cloud. That seems to be a huge leap of faith in both the reliability of my net connection and the security measures of my chosen data caretaker(s).
- kirse 18y agoNope, you're not alone. The only way I'll ever do this is if I run my own server and am fully responsible for _my_ information. That way any loss / snoops are entirely my own fault. As far as the O/S transitioning to the web in 5 years, it's simply not going to happen, so I wouldn't worry about it =). Oh, and desktop PCs are not on the way out, this "laptop taking over the desktop" claim has been around for as long as I can remember. Desktops will continue to get smaller and more efficient, but they'll never lose their price to performance edge over laptops.
