I was reading this: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2864772/cloud-storage/are-pc-hard-drives-destined-to-die-at-the-hand-of-the-cloud-maybe-analysts-say.html[^]

nice article but as I was reading I was like dude this is not what people is learning, after the boom of everything in a Cloud people has learning that it's not good and they are learning to really use the Cloud Storing as it must be (please notice I'm not talking about Cloud Services, It's just storage)...

My as an old user of PC, as a person that lives in a place that is not 100% 24/7 online with insane amount of Bandwidth, have always know the importance of working Offline...

So, would I use Cloud Storage? yes, but not as the main and unique storage, that is kind of stupid for me, I use it as the Centralized Backup, I can backup everything but I will always use the local files (PC, Cell, Tablet, Console...) I don't want to:
- Lost usability due lost of connection or services temporally down
- Bandwidth, everybody in the cloud just to see a video, that is a waste of bandwidth.
- ISP issued due bandwidth or maximum quota dependency, the stupid mobile service providers in my Country wants to sell 25MB plans but they will add a quota of a maximum of 6GB monthly download, if you goes over the 6GB then your internet speed goes to 128Kb

In simple words having those Backups services are awesome, I'm sure I will not lost those important files anymore.

(Still don't understand how people buy cellphones with just 16Gb and no external SD card slot!!!!!)
