Woz warns about dark clouds

We live In a world that is rapidly evolving ,we shifted from harddrives to flash.memory and now we are about to embrace cloud storage as the next step in evolution ,but did we ever think about the cons of the cloud ? And the possible dangers it may pose to our privacy ? Apple's co founder Steve Wozniak (the woz ) after a trade show in Washington said " I am really worried about everything going to the cloud ,I think it is horrendous and I think there are going to be many problems in the next 5 years " what he says is true ....most of us simply dump our important documents to a cloud storage and sometimes forget to encrypt a password ...even if it is encrypted it still can be accessed ....imagine if a PSN (PLAYSTATION NETWORK HACK OF 2011)  style hack happens to a cloud service ...all your photos and important files remain at the fate of the hackers who may use it for their purposes ...and what if your data suddenly gets confiscated for no reason ...most cloud sites have the right to end service which is to say that all the gigs of data you backup is technically not yours ...best thin is to avoid the cloud and stick to flash.memory cards or expandable memory sleeves or drives ...and if you really want a cloud backup try to use a encrypted password without simply uploading it....
