I think that was before you had even gotten your own smartphone. Is there any hope that the smartphone might allow you to get rid of some of your other gadgets like your ipod touch, car gps, e-reader and landline? I've never used the "iCloud" but I use another cloud called "dropbox" for the files that I want duplicated on my laptop, desktop, and office computer. I would be suspicious of any cloud made by Apple, because of Apple's insistence on organizing your file system in an opaque and mysterious way.

I am just barely young enough to be a millennial, but I can assure you that I get extremely aggravated with all this "syncing" technological crap. <br /><br />I have decided to never use the f-word. I will use the s-word from now on: sync.<br /><br />Also, I frequently employ your common refrain: "This system was designed by chimpanzees."<br /><br />Indeed, much of the problem is not the technology itself but the sloppy management systems. They are the real cluster-sync. <br />Anna Douglass Ojanenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015643244414275713noreply@blogger.com
