There is several problems associated with this.
We are supposed to bring innovation to the Information Age. So Cloud Computing is introduced. Then these sites spring up for cloud storage. Now you have access to another feasible storage facility, do you put all your eggs in this basket?
Amazon says cloud computing is the next big thing. Great for corporates, but what about the home user? If sites like Megaupload get taken down with your legit files, what impact does that do the psyche of the already unsure cloud user?
Microsoft wants us to game in the cloud, and there is Onlive. What if some exec did not get the rights to have a game on their Onlive servers and that company complains to the FBI and gets shut down? I thought SOPA was shelved...
How much would you say cloud computing is worth in the next 10-15 years? How much damage was done by the FBI by closing such a service in relation to cloud services?
Finally, storage had spiked do to the floods in Bangkok. Does this mean that HDD prices will be on the rise again, considering the added pressure to keep vast digital catalogs?
It is a puzzling state of affairs.
