I think we are full circle back to IBM and IBM AS400 dumb terminals? There are two main concerns for me, the concept of Cloud Computing "out of place": the reliability of off-site servers and Internet connection, for example. A failure in any part of the line could run a business to a standstill if there is no machine in the computer systems of the site. Dumb terminals without operating system or storage are useless without the connection to the server. Second, as already mentioned, I do not feel comfortable giving you total control over personal data, sensitive to an external location. If hackers go fishing, do not prefer to have the data around the world together, like shooting fish in a barrel, which is attached to have to go after each company separately?
