Cloud Computing

Ever think for a minute who holds your possessions in their trust? Ownership has become a fuzzy term in modern day systems of exchange. When setting up this blog for the first time I realized that my thoughts were no longer confined to my head. My opinions and perspectives are now transferred to a Blog Server, the server in turn holds it for safe keeping and offers it for public consumption either by design or by accident. My thoughts are my own but they will also reside in this mythical cloud that is the Internet. More and more we are being readily submissive about things near and dear to us to third parties. The convenience is undeniable and increasingly I am getting lazier. My naivety sometimes convinces me to submit to the will of those whom I think are better at something because its their job to be good at it. Bankers, financial advisors, real estate agents, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, gardeners, hair stylists, teachers, etc. However, it is not disappointment proof. Seems like this "cloud" metaphor is more far reaching than I originally thought. See how this goes.
