Are clouds safe? Cool story bro.

Clouds are a great technology that stores all your digital data online, where you can access the data from anywhere in the world, as long as if you have a computer and internet. The question regarding about whether clouds are safe is a very good question. Are clouds alike Facebook where people can view and access your data, or is it locked out from other people other than yourself?

It is very hard for Teachers, government, and other people to view the information that you have in the cloud. The only danger is, the hackers. Hackers are very interested in the data you store inside a cloud, if you have very important information that is top secret, hackers have the ability to access, or hack into you account. therefore, putting important or private information on the cloud is very risky. Although you can avoid all you friends and teachers from viewing you information or data, clouds are unable to defend themselves from professional hackers.

Another question for the cloud is, can the cloud crash, and if it crashes, what will happen to you information stored and the cloud itself? The answer to the question is, it is possible for a cloud to crash, but the difference of the cloud and other storage system is, it is impossible for the entire cloud system to collapse as a whole, but it is possible for individual clouds to crash.  For a piece of technology, it is impossible that nothing will go wrong, the is always potential for something to go wrong in a piece of technology. When the cloud crashes, it may be due to physical damage to the cloud software, or other unknown reasons. If it crashes, most of the information, or all the information that you have stored in your cloud will be permanently deleted. So that is why you should have a backup or a copy of the information some where else.
