There's no way I'll ever use the cloud to store anything --- even my large collection of multicoloured angel's wings. If the day arrives when I don't have access to hard drive devices - and I can well imagine that day will come - then that's the day I either toss all computers in the river or find an alternative means of storage.
But bigod, can we all see where this is going. It's the younger generation that won't know any different; computers that spy on you by contract; that collect and analyse every bit of data available and only cloud storage will be standard. And due to the dumbing down and propaganda of the media, no one will think it at all wrong or unusual.
And imagine that day when the odd quirky person does hold his/her privacy to be important. They'll be castigated as dangerous social misfits... cerebral terrorists or worse.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
