The plan is is for Google to buy up all the servers in the world, keep them Exactly where they are, and continue on doing the exact same thing they are now. In 5 years windows will release a OS that is based on this cloud system, all the new computers will have this OS and as time passes everyone will switch over. Then in another 5 years they will slowly wean us off the internet and switch us to the internet 2.
At this point all of our data and our social lives are going to be kept on the "cloud" servers, where they have access to everything they would ever want or need from you without having to ask even a first time.
Google has already been caught in the act of handing over personal information to governments, and whats more there are alleged stories of them working in direct contact with the CIA. Also when you use google chrome every single keystroke is logged and sent to google. not just when you press enter, every single one. Do some packet sniffing as your typing in the address bar, i promise you it will knock you to the floor.
At the moment google is but a search engine for most of us. If they are so bold as to hand over information as of now. Why do you think things are going to change when all of our data is online?
They will be able to block us from our own files, edit and audit them, go through them at any time. The data on there servers are owned by them. just as the data on ours is owned by us. If all our computers become nothing but zombie access points...what are we going to do?
The government has been looking for a way to spy on all of us flawlessly, the media has been searching for a way to flawlessly enforce copyright laws. With cloud computing you can do all this an more.
Forget cloud computing.
Fuck google.
Im keeping my 5TB, thank you.
Yeah, I don't want all of my pr0n to be kept on a server somewhere on the other side of the world.
ReplyDeletewell I like it for business linking my computers, phone,wii etc. but that is on a private VPN which is the way to go. But cloud computing not on a private vpn is for retards.
ReplyDeleteYeah, screw that. Main reason I dont have a Facebook is so there hopefully isnt a mass record of my life already out there.
ReplyDeleteI think that it has it's uses. I will still own a lot of hard space.
ReplyDeleteGreat article!!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog!
im not a fan of controlling the internet. i think it should be free for everyone.
ReplyDeletefreedom of information is important!
Wow, that's quite scary actually.
ReplyDeletecool post - I've never thought of cloud computing in that way
ReplyDeleteinteresting. I use FF and proxy software, but internet2 will equal mesh networking on internet1 making it all a darknet of sorts.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy into cloud computing. I feel much safer knowing my files are right where i need them. I wouldn't like to rely on ISP's to access my files
ReplyDeleteYeeeeeah no do not want.
ReplyDeletegood thing i store my data safely at home and not in the cloud
ReplyDeletearr im glad ive held onto all those 3.5 fd, will come in handy soonish...
ReplyDeleteyeah, it's always kind of a tough call...the trade off of civil liberties for convenience. Wouldn't google owning all of the servers cause a monopoly (the illegal kind)?
ReplyDeleteYa screw Google.
ReplyDeleteGreat article man!
ReplyDeleteGood insight into cloud computing. There is a lot of controversy on this topic and I'm glad you posted your viewpoint. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy what you can find out about people with a simple Google search. I try to keep as much of my personal life off the internet as possible.
ReplyDeleteI definitely love your writing style. Keep it up, I'm following.
ReplyDeletedude don't say that Google might kill you
ReplyDeleteIronic you're using Google's free blogspot service to share this information with everyone. Nice post though. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI know I should be scared, but I'm just addicted to Google Docs. I just don't have to work out where to file it, its free and accessible from anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat shit is scary, yo... time we took on the end-boss of the internet ourselves, huh?
ReplyDeleteSad day when the world all uses Cloud computing!
ReplyDeletemeh.. google, second last boss of the internet
