Hi all,

In future at some time will my PC be based on a 'Cloud' as regards data and programmes?

Same as an Xbox in effect? So no pirate issues?

Will my water be perfect? (No answers please...).

Best Regards,

Your using the first wisps right now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

For me personally, I don't think a personal hard drive will become obsolete in the foreseeable future.

Certain benefits, like a backup of your system and all data held in the cloud could be very convenient and beneficial, especially when getting a new computer, upgrading an old one or recovering from a crash.

However, the safety and integrity of that data is my biggest concern, and the biggest vulnerability.

Those movies where the cyber criminals run amok and take advantage of large sectors the population? The first wave is here already, and exploding in scope.
