But the Cloud is just typing on someone else's computer like the 1960s, but on a faster less reliable connection and less security. If you do it right your own computer is more reliable and has more up time. There is a story about it.

It's about how ALL the Clouds and Internet can go down at once. It won't be an apocalypse and the truth is that the Cloud is already less reliable than decent in house resources, can cost more, be less private and less secure. The security and privacy is opaque.

There ARE good uses for the Cloud and Cloud based editing. But not as much as is claimed.
