Cloud computing is damaging the planet!!!!!! The environmental cost of moving our lives online and into the cloud.

Holochain is the solution

Very informative and still relevant 1 year later today!

Data is property

Really going from punch cards to cloud computing?
Skipping floppy disks 5,25 inch and later 1,44 MB 3,5 HD DD disks. And that was still home computing. Then the HD came into existance. Then portable ZIP disks. Burnable CD ROMS. Later even DVD and BluRay. All able to make copies. Even rewritable ones. Not to mention FLASH data on USB sticks, even with their limited R/W cycles.
You claim cloud services are the way to go. But they are far more likely to be attacked by hackers than my own good old RAID type1 servers.
Cloud computing is the worst kind of data protection the world has seen. There's no control and when the servers are taken down, you lose it all.
I don't understand why a person with a fair bit of knowledge would promote cloud data storage in a cloud over local storage.

Thanks Matthias! I enjoyed your perspective and largely aligned with the outcomes you expect.

COOL Matthias - great talk, thanks for this!

really cool, I never thought about this before!
