Lost in the Cloud

Lost in the Cloud was written by Jonathan Zittrain who is a law professor at Harvard. He has much experience with saving data on a computer. Being a professor, he would have to grade papers and have much of his work saved on a computer. He explains that recently Google has created a new program called Chrome. Its a data base where instead of saving things on your PC, it would save everything in Google Chrome, also known as the cloud. " With your stuff in the cloud, it’s not a catastrophe to lose your laptop, any more than losing your glasses would permanently destroy your vision." Many people have been too depended on their electrical devices. Computers and data bases can crash at anytime, it is always good to have a back up.

I agree with Jonathan Zittrain completely. I cant tell you how many times my computer has crashed. Just recently when turning this Open-Ed in, my computer decided to freeze and not save. Sometimes I feel like technology is getting way ahead of itself. I feel like we should always have a back up and somethings can be done like they were done "back in the day". We should also not be so depended. Technology should be looked at as a blessing or privilege not a need.
