    CNet[^]:

    A study has found that a large percentage of Americans are a little foggy on what cloud computing actually is.

    Well, if they didn't... why would they call it cloud computing?

    Not (as many would think) just a reason to laugh at those living in "Canada's bitch", as I'm sure it spreads past the border.

      IT clouds everything. Impossible to see common sense is... :rolleyes: (I needed a green smiley for this one)

        A whopping 51 per cent believe that a storm could play havoc with cloud computing.

        ...and I'm one of them and I DO know what "the cloud" means. If a meteorological storm causes power / communication outages it can wreak havoc with one's ability to access data & apps in the cloud. But lets not let that stop us from click-baiting. :rolleyes:

          Too bad they didn't ask how people think cloud computing affects global warming. ;) Marc

            Somehow I doubt that is what the 51% had in mind. Sadly, they don't seem to have the actual survey in the PDF. And I've said it before, but I will say it one more time: All headlines are "click-bait". That's the entire purpose of a headline.

              It would have been if I'd been one of the "lucky" 1006 participants.

              True, but insulting 153,000,000 people in 8 words is taking it up a notch.

                  And they called that a survey! Given the right demographics (redneck central) I'd be astonished it was that low!, survey a major city and you numbers are going to be skewed the other direction.

                  Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
