I wonder about the CLOUD .

Just the other day my friend and I were talking about iCloud. She had some issues with it and i told her nobody understands THE CLOUD. She started laughing and so did i but now that i actually think of it were is our information going. The cloud is a powerful source that is provide for every iPhone. It keeps all of our pictures,contacts, notes , and etc. It has our whole “life” in a single location. But what if we loose that information or what if we want to get rid of some data from it. Where does it all go to after it  has been “deleted”? Is it actually even being deleted or is it just erased from our view and kept somewhere else? Where could it possibly go. Do you ever just sit down and start to wondering where does everything go,how does it get transferred, and what pathways it takes in order to get to there. 
The one thing that bugged me about iCloud was that we have to create an account and once i got my new iPhone i didn't want to log onto my iCloud but i kept getting notification every hour that i need to log on so i could restore and saving everything and i would ignore it but the notifications kept coming and coming till i finally gave up and enter my login and password. But, why did it keep on insisting even though i kept rejecting it. Why was it so important to have it on my phone. I don't even use it at all its just there.

  1. yes I agree with you valeria. I cloud does get a lot of our information and they seem to only get more and more. I cloud has it's ways and keeps much of our information and who knows what they do with it. Things we "delete" are not always deleted because they are almost always backed up. like you said icloud is a very powerful source on our iphone's it keep everything in storage. Other things such as locations is on I cloud and you can find your phone which is basically you. Our privacy may be at risk because of this powerful source.

  2. I agree with you. The same thing happened to my mom when she got a new phone and I told you she would just keep getting the notifications until she logged in. It's really weird how everything existing on your phone can be tracked down to the smallest things even if they're deleted.
