Cloud Computing’s Partly Cloudy Future?

October 26, 2009

Americans overwhelmingly have a lack of interest in cloud-based services, according to a new survey

“Asked what they felt about personal data being stored on third-parties’ remote computers, 64% say they don’t want their data kept by a third party, according to the latest installment of ‘Unisys Security Index: United States.””

I wonder how much of this comes down to semantics. The vast majority of people I know have no problems storing their email in the cloud. And that’s probably the biggest cache of personal data most average users have.
