      Are there actually people out there that think differently than this? This is not a revelation.

        Yes. There are at least two people in the world that believe that it’s magic in the air.

        Yes, I think many people think otherwise, even in tech. To many “the cloud” is some sort of magical, mystical place data can go. And companies selling cloud services perpetuate the myth.

        This is a revelation to many people.

          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.
