You keep on the iCloud everything but you keep on your device what you want on your device, it's up to you what you have on your device. The iCloud will not suck everything off of your device, that would be pointless. From that point of view it's no different to now, just see the iCloud as your computer but in virtual form and available whenever you have wifi access and not just when you are at home and in the same room as your computer.

I tend to be both clueless, behind the curve, 73.46% Luddite, and ever so suspicious of anything in the clouds. Be it UFOs or the latest Justin Beaver MP3 files.

I was in the clouds before the iPhone arrived and before the word cloud arrived, to be sure. It was called a web server and I would store video training materials, wave files, images, and documents. I see very little difference between this fancy pants place called the cloud and the way it has always been done.

Just marketing speak for old ways of doing stuff. And isnt the entire web in the cloud providing cloud services?

Anyone want to tell me how the cloud differs from putting my work files on the web in a super secret location? Like I still do?

Perhaps I am as jaded as a Buddha temple, and I am clearly missing some finer point
By the way, no offense to those of the Buddha faith.

I need coffee and pie.
