Why don't people like to own their own data anymore?
by Arct1c_f0x from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DCD5)
why does it seem like people are perfectly fine with not physically owning their own data?
With all the cloud services and their popularity, it seems like people have lost sight of how important it is to physically own their own data and personal information. For instance I'm sure there are lots people out there who would rather have the .avi or .mp4 copy of a movie in their possession rather than have an amazon or netflix movie subscription (with access to that movie) but I can't say that I know many people like this -_-
Don't they understand how few pros and how many cons there is to this? There's no independence!
Someone explain this to me.
