Where's My Stuff?


In my last post, I wrote about cloud services and the fact that almost everyone uses them. To be honest, I'm still learning about the ins and outs of cloud services myself. Upon reading an article recently, I finally solved the mystery of where all the "stuff" in the cloud is stored. I cannot say with all certainty that my stuff is in any particular location, but I do now have a better idea. According to the article linked above, information from an iTunes account is stored in facilities in Oregon, North Carolina or California. Weird, right? I thought so. I, probably not unlike many others, tend to envision some sort of magic to be responsible for things I don't understand. Now that I am ready to look beyond the myth, I'm finding ansers and becoming better informed. Is a cloud magic? No. Is it still completely amzing? Yes.

  1. Yes, it is weird. So if our stuff is kinda nowhere, then does that mean it's kinda everywhere? Seems so. Place seems to have become a most ambiguous concept.
