In my humble opinion the author has done very well with the article. It was interesting to read it.

== Implications for archiving; long-term storage ==
Earlier in this talk page it's mentioned how Dell is dropping its support of some cloud architecture. The Issues section is missing a discussion regarding long-term archiving/accessibility of private data. As the cloud forces people to rely on a third party to store and take care of files ranging from personal photos to purchased music to business documents, with many (perhaps unwisely) choosing not to have a ground-based backup on their own computers (and with tablets having only limited storage capacity, even that option is becoming more uncommon), there must be concerns over the ability to ensure that a file saved in the cloud will still be accessible 10 years from now. As noted in the Privacy section, as it is third parties are capable of altering or deleting files (as those who experienced the great Amazon "1984" e-book deletion fiasco of a few years ago will recall vividly, or more recently those who were unable to view purchased movies on Netflix (a form of cloud) on Christmas Day 2012 because their server failed). Archives in government as it is are still trying to get a handle on how to archive e-mails and other digital-only documents so that historians 50 years from now will be able to access them, the fact so many documents and files are being relegate to the cloud without backup or permanent printed copies must be a concern to someone.

:If you can find a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] where these concerns are discussed &ndash; e.g. a national newspaper or a periodical like ''Forbes'' or ''The Economist'' &ndash; that would make a good addition to the article. - [[User:Pointillist|Pointillist]] ([[User talk:Pointillist|talk]]) 00:22, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
