A future is big data in the cloud.

  Good point. I'd rather have small data (e-mail, personal website, shared files…) at home. It has a smaller "Big Brother" potential.

    All the traffic to/from your home is monitored. Encrypted data in the cloud is much safer and more available.

      Why can't traffic to/from your home be encrypted?

    To clarify my point, this will be just one of the approaches in the future. I see also a lot of small "clouds" on personal devices that have trusted pairs they automatically sync with. You walk in your office, and your phone/pda pulls down your days tasks from your desktop/laptop wirelessly and update everything. Maybe that data lives in a cloud, but it could be local to the company, it could be just that desktop, or it could be in a giant data warehouse.
