    I don’t buy this. Companies like the cloud because they know their data is going to computers that they don’t have to manage.

    On premise means they need to manage the hardware. It means they need a staff on hand to maintain the hardware. They have to deal with all of those issues them selves.

    I am in tech consulting and I’ve never met a customer that didn’t understand what cloud actually is.

    Even my boomer relatives know this and they know jack shit about the tech world.

      Most people have never given it any thought. Their photos are stored on iCloud, if you pushed them you might get them to think about it and then they would realize it’s just another computer, but most people have never even considered where the pictures go.

        “Most people” is a stretch. This is a vague generalization with no data to back it up.

          Sure, just like the statement “Even my boomer relatives know this and they know jack shit about the tech world.” is a vague generalization with no data to back it up.

            The data is my own relatives. Where as you’re just pulling stuff out of your ass. Big difference.

                You’ll have to do better than that because you’re essentially saying the same thing as “most people don’t know the sky is blue.”

                Prove it. Otherwise you’re just projecting your insecurity of not knowing how basic computer stuff works.

                  To extend your analogy, you first said “Even my non-artist relatives know the sky is green” then I said “most people know the sky is yellow”. Why would I need to “prove” my statement any more than you should? You think it’s my job to educate you or something? If you want to know go do some research, otherwise we can just agree that we have different views, but I’m not about to go do your homework for you.
