Doesn't mean there won't be victims along the way as the kinks are sorted out via trial and error, and it doesn't mean we should throw caution in the wind as we're part of this evolutionary process.

I'm totally okay and even embrace the changes and advances in technologies, but it's not going to be a perfect utopia of tech right off the bat.

Progress is never made by "cautious" endeveurs... Progress is made by the bold visionaries.

I totally agree. People inventing technologies are brilliant minds that go against the status quote and should continue to push the human race. People using these technologies however should be aware that the progress and new technologies won't be fullproof and without issues. There will always be people that want to create chaos and harm for the sake of it, and the "testers" should at least know what they could be in for.

I don't think you could have built a better strawman with your list of examples.

Like it or not, the internet is not some sort of haven for information security. If anything, recent news and developments the world over should paint the opposite picture. Cloud storage isn't even a new thing, it was first put to market in 1994 and the arms race between hackers and security tech is a never ending one that no one will win. Exploits will always exist and new ones will always be found when the last is patched, that is the reality of a system that has to be accessible from anywhere. It is and always will be stupid to put confidential and personal information on the Cloud just as its stupid to put on Facebook, especially if you are a famous person.

You can trust the Cloud with simple things. You can (for the most part) trust it with irrelevant passtimes like gaming.

Don't trust the Cloud with nude photos of yourself. Just as you wouldn't keep said photos in your house, in a drawer for someone to find.

Lol, all those lying celebs on twitter.

Without getting too "feministic," keep in mind that these are still real people who have been hacked and their privacy invaded. I would suggest respecting those boundaries and not look at the photos out of respect for the person and the principle of privacy.

Someone is gonna get sued i'm assuming.
