Don't question the power of the cloud!
- leeoniya 13y agosometimes i wonder if many tech evangelists & PR people are so detached from the technology they promote that they themselves don't understand what they mean when they say "cloud". the unwashed masses clearly have no way of understanding what "the cloud" is any more than "a series of tubes"
- pavlov 13y agoI've noticed that a lot of people seem to think that "cloud servers" are either located in space, or that smartphones at least use some kind of satellite uplink to connect with "the cloud". I think people are simply mixing up GPS with Internet-based services. Anyway, it's pretty brilliant marketing for cloud companies. It's kind of poetic to think of your data as being "somewhere up in the sky", light as air -- sure beats the reality of thousands of hot, smelly data centers in nondescript office buildings.
- gregsq 13y agoWell i guess you'd call this explanation for a not insignificant number of listeners the possible beginning of a 'cloud religiosity'. http://youtu.be/ApQlMm39xr0 http://youtu.be/ApQlMm39xr0
- chrismorgan 13y agoI've come across people that believe The Cloud is one specific place.
