I've been planning on having about 3 computers in the future. A Dominant desktop, a laptop, and a laptop that has no internet connectivity what so ever. The one with no internet connectivity will be one that I can keep all of my vital information on. And if I need information for a moment, I can simply copy it quickly use it on another computer and then deleted again and do a secure erase.

Also, if you have family videos and things, do you really want that stuff to be leaked online? I would definitely want a computer with zero connectivity.

This is what I used to do but I only have one computer now and can't afford to buy another this soon. I've read about Google terminating someone's account for no reason before and I wonder if it's either (a) because they've been hacked into and the hacker has misused their account, (b) an automated mechanism to detect wrongdoing caught them in the net, or (c) someone reported them for something although it wasn't actually offensive.

i.e. did he have pictures of baby sons/daughters in the bath on his account? People do this and while it's not wrong for parents to have naked pics of their own kids (in the garden/bath/beach/other normal places), it could be misinterpreted as child porn either by an automated software or by a moderator who was like "shit a naked baby... it's CP... delete delete delete".

I had a website on a particular free host for years but to be honest, they were going to shit. I uploaded a page that says 404 and automatically redirects to the homepage but my account was suspended and no proper reason giving. This was the work of an automated anti-phishing filter that checks code and bans accounts because of certain keywords.

For this reason I don't trust cloud computing. I wouldn't leave my personal information primarily where someone else can see or refuse my access to it and if I did put things on Facebook or Google I would not rely on them to keep it safe.

After all, it's not as if you would leave your valuables and personal stuff in a locker that business personnel have access to?

I don't know why so many are so trusting with it and think it's so awesome. Everyone talks about it's where things are headed.

If so, then fix your damned security, or lack thereof more accurately, for starters. If that's where it will go one day, fine. But with things like how BIG Sony was hacked and all this other bullshit those guys/gals did, it'll make more people apprehensive about it. Or it should. I never trusted it before anyways. I didn't need them to "show me" how flawed big business' "security" is. I wonder......, if in some ways, that wasn't part of their "agenda", despite that Conspiracy Theory I posted lol.

Most business wants it for more control over us and we will have virtually no rights and they can control us. You know the US government will bust in their pants so to speak over it and will be ecstatic.
