Got to say I agree.
Cloud computing is a fad that had been propagated out of Silicon Valley, CA where they have high resilience ultra fast internet access. This is not the case for the rest of he world. In fact I think the statistic is that 99% of the planet has less than 1Mb internet. What use of cloud computing to them!
My epiphany came sitting in a campsite in the middle of nowhere....well it was actually the Cevennes...but it was quite remote. No cellular or WiFi internet connection ...and I wanted to show some Belgian people shots of a place they were planning to visit.
But even in deepest, darkest Yorkshire I get frustrated. My father's connection is very cheap and very slow (he has no need for speed) but it drives me to depths of despair, waiting for simple connections to deliver.
