@jk_10 , when the banking system was just getting started a long time ago, there were a lot of folks who scoffed at the idea and said "why in the world would I put MY money in some central place and mix it up with other people's money. I think it is a lot safer under my Mattress. Besides, I can see, touch, smell it. It makes me feel I'm in control of MY money". Do you think like this about putting your money in the bank today? In fact, it is a lot safer to put your money in the bank than keeping it under your mattress particularly if you live in a risky neighborhood.
Banks spend millions of dollars on security. They have some of best security experts on staff. You can also earn interest and get other advantages as well.
Now replace "Bank" with "Cloud" and "Money" with "Data".
The cloud trend is inevitable. You can bury your head in the sand and keep saying that the world is not changing around you, but that won't change the reality of it. Cloud is real, it is happening, and it will be a dominant computing model in the next decade. The change will not happen overnight, but the trends are unmistakable.
