The Cloud is ours because we built it with "good enough content and valuable enough data." Says who? This seems to go against the whole amateur idea.

Munster and Lovink's What a network is not: "We should be wary of techno-contractions like "social software" that suggest technology glues us humans together (again). Instead, we should read – and enjoy – networks as info-clouds that cover the sun. They disperse the bright light of broadcasting media."

Also: "Networks are fragmentors. They break up strong signs and experiences into countless threads."

Chris Anderson, Wired, July 2008: we live in the Petabyte age and petabytes don't fit on hard disks, we ran out of organizational analogies.

Olia's illustration on p49 > the Cloud touches our computers. Our computers are NOT inside the Cloud. Various companies have their own clouds. [insert link to IT Crowd black box episode here]
