Whats gonna happen if google fails????

Swear.... swear all you want... and nothing might happen..... 

Did't understand??? well let me try again. Lets go back a few years in time to emphasise my point.

Errrr.. not exactly a few years, say about a decade to the time Windows Xp had created a hush,

and of course as now even then there were certain things that stirred a lot even wind when it comes to Microsoft products. Back then it was Windows Blue screen of Death. 

You'd be working on something important or downloading something important and then suddenly your system would go on a strike!! showing a Blue Screen which say something abt memory dump and all that crap but the point here is, in such a situation all you could do was swear reboot,swear reboot,swear reboot and do a bit more swearing but eventually it would start working again.. remember this was in 90's through 2k.  Getting a feeling of deja vu???

Now lets cut to the present...

Now, it's the dreaded outage: you're halfway through doing something or downloading something important and the website packs up, your broadband connection goes on strike or the internet goes in a great big huff. Again in such a situation all you can do is swear reboot your modem,swear reboot your system,swear reboot both and do a bit more swearing but eventually it will start working again.. remember this present.

The point i am trying to drive here no matter how abstractly, is these days everything is ONLINE!!!!

The difference this time around is that when your PC did the blue screen, it didn't take your radio, your TV, your phone, your games console and everything else with it. When the internet goes, it might.

We're rushing into a world where everything depends on an internet connection, whether it's your email, your online apps, your Xbox Live or your TV on demand.

Most of the time, that's absolutely fine. Great, even. But it means that we're more vulnerable to catastrophe and cock-ups than ever before.

If your files are on the cloud and the cloud blows away, you can't work. If your entertainment comes down a pipe, an angry mole or distracted JCB driver can cut it off completely. And if you're using Voice over IP, no IP means no voice.

So my Advice... Take more Back ups... Burn those cheap grey market dvd's. its always better to sleep with a back up of your life time's worth under your pillow than have an online backup or on a "Sky Drive". you neva know... the next day you might wake up to headlines saying "Google's says sorry to all those who had data in their servers as their servers crashed due to some freak accident"..

coz you never know... anything might happen these days... Technology my Friend!!!
