You're ooking at it from a different point of view than the author. While there are privacy concerns in handing over such data to a 3rd party, there is some merit in being able to conveniently access data from multiple devices without the headaches of managing multiple instances of it.
I think given the choice, most consumers usually pick the later since convenience trumps privacy concerns...that is until privacy/ownership bites them in the behind...
Although, I would prefer to have that choice rather than being forced to go one way or the other...
- niggler 14y agoThe author's point of view here is silly. Yes, conveniently accessing data from multiple devices is good. No, having your social security number and other personal information in the cloud is bad. I'd be willing to bet close to 99% of those people who do want their phone book in the cloud wouldn't want their record of, say, medical illnesses or sexually transmitted diseases stored on google's or apple's or facebook's servers.
- sgharms 14y agoWhen did I ever suggest storing your SSN in the cloud was a good idea? Had I said that, I would agree, my point of view would be silly, but I didn't.
