    I was reading this: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2864772/cloud-storage/are-pc-hard-drives-destined-to-die-at-the-hand-of-the-cloud-maybe-analysts-say.html[^] nice article but as I was reading I was like dude this is not what people is learning, after the boom of everything in a Cloud people has learning that it's not good and they are learning to really use the Cloud Storing as it must be (please notice I'm not talking about Cloud Services, It's just storage)... My as an old user of PC, as a person that lives in a place that is not 100% 24/7 online with insane amount of Bandwidth, have always know the importance of working Offline... So, would I use Cloud Storage? yes, but not as the main and unique storage, that is kind of stupid for me, I use it as the Centralized Backup, I can backup everything but I will always use the local files (PC, Cell, Tablet, Console...) I don't want to: - Lost usability due lost of connection or services temporally down - Bandwidth, everybody in the cloud just to see a video, that is a waste of bandwidth. - ISP issued due bandwidth or maximum quota dependency, the stupid mobile service providers in my Country wants to sell 25MB plans but they will add a quota of a maximum of 6GB monthly download, if you goes over the 6GB then your internet speed goes to 128Kb In simple words having those Backups services are awesome, I'm sure I will not lost those important files anymore. (Still don't understand how people buy cellphones with just 16Gb and no external SD card slot!!!!!)

      Back in the day, Analysts were saying "The PC is dead! Long live the Network Computer!" which was much the same thing when you look at it. It didn't happen then, either...

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

        Because the primary function is as a phone, but an all-inclusive-handheld computing device. I have some apps and music, but it is primarily a phone.

          Yep. I have two apps: a WiFi signal analyser and a Cast-to-Chromecast app (so I can use the phone as a remote instead of my tablet) On my tablet I have apps, music, books, video, ...

              Funny because all my friends that are buying this kind of phones are Music and Movie fanatics... and lets not talk about Recording 4K videos.... they are like OHHH look what I can do with this camera.. and hahahaha dude you don't have storage!!! what will you do? Well I forgot to put that on my previous post, that it was for people that doesn't use the mobile phone, wait, the Smart phone just to do call and send text... I also have a Note 2 with 2 32Gb memories, one full of music and stuff, lets call it the daily use one, and one with movies for long trips (useful when there are kids in the car). so this is the case were I don't know how people can buy phones without external memory. (nexus nexus and Google drive!!! I know that is the plan!!!!)
