"I agree that the trend is here to stay, but I, personally, am scared to death.
I think we're headed for disaster. The problem is that few of us have an
adequate back up regime for all of this data. When disaster hits, and a single
disk drive holds all of our downloaded commercial software, our e-books, our
electronic documents, our financial data, our music, our photographs, etc.,
then we've lost everything. So what used to require a devastating house fire
now will hit unprepared users every time their hard drive fails. We tend to
have all our eggs in one basket now and a single failure has now a greater
impact."
