When you say “cloud computing”, do you really mean “cloud storage”? Are you referring to keeping files on a server somewhere and accessing that content remotely? I must say that the very idea of this to me is a huge step backwards. You will likely have to pay for the privilege, and pay per GB. You will likely have to pay for the bandwidth, uploading and downloading. You can’t be sure the content will be available when you need it. You can’t be certain that your content is secure and safe. You will have a delay in accessing the content while it downloads. This truly makes no sense to me at all.
SDHC cards are getting cheaper by the day. SDXC cards promise to hold lots and lots of data, although the price is still an issue for SDXC. USB thumb drives are dirt cheap, fast, and reliable. There is just no valid reason for “cloud storage” that I can think of...
