- From what I understand so far, "cloud" computing refers to storing files on a central server that one may never see. These servers are stored in special warehouses which are closely monitored and climate controlled. They use a lot of energy and are often set up in climates that are naturally dry i.e. desert climates. For example, Microsoft has moved to offer Cloud Storage to its XBOX Live customers.

- But how secure are these "clouds"?
- Also, cloud computing is not very green.
- Libraries are still the best excuse for hoarding materials. This is part of why I love the profession.
