iCloud

    Valeria and I were talking about iCloud today at school.  After listening to what Valeria had to say about it, it really had me thinking as well on why we actually need it.  I've never once used iCloud, nor do I even understand iCloud, but it's just there.  Storing, saving data that I don't really need.  I'm not scared of iCloud because I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm just very curious as to where my things actually go.  Valeria was saying how her iPhone kept insisting to make an iCloud hourly, and the same thing was happening to me.

    The notification was annoying so I gave in after the second time it asked and made an account for iCloud.  But the whole not knowing part is actually pretty weird.  And again, I'm not mad about the idea, I'm just curious as to why and where my data goes.  I tried reading about iCloud and it was honestly way too boring that it would put me to sleep, so I just gave up.  I wish that Apple would've made a commercial explaining iCloud and how it really works instead of basically forcing it upon us to make an account for something we have no idea about.  I'm pretty positive that nobody read what iCloud was about because it was like 16 pages worth of irrelevant things.  It's pretty interesting how iCloud can save your storage and data without you even asking it to, though.

  1. I think I've only used iCloud once. It came in handy when I got a new phone because all my contacts and pictures got synced right over to my new phone and I didn't lose any information, but I also don't understand why they can't just transfer everything by plugging both phones into the machine that they use to transfer things.
