No, they dont.

Google's excellent AI is the result of cloud computing analysis which is
far greater than the mobile device itself.

When someone sends you mail, the cloud routes it all and places it in
your inbox. The next time your device polls for new email, you then
retrieve it.


No, it doesn't.

On my iPhone, I have access to 50 million songs. I don't have to store
them all. I just have access to them all. I use YouTube Music. When I
like a song others are suggested and in general it's good at picking
songs I will like. That's a benefit of could computing.


'could' computing? 'could' be secure I guess..

When I request an Uber, the cloud calculates all the drivers near me and
the destination I have. It then finds me a driver suitable for my
destination. And this is international. That's the cloud. It's not just
the server client model of yesterday. We have cloud based file systems
and work units that span many machines into clusters. Cloud is much more
advanced technology.

Now small devices, the IoT, have lightweight operating systems of their
own. Devices that used to require a PC as sync point are going away if
not already gone. Now the device itself is capable of syncing with the
cloud. My iPhone is a good example of this. It has a direct relationship
with YouTube Music. The videos I like are downloaded directly from the
iPhone from YouTube. I no longer need a client, like a Mac or Windows. I
can be a Linux user and still enjoy the benefits of the iPhone or
Android as a separate issue.

You can call this market speak if you like. I say you're wrong about
that, but I don't see that at matters at all anyway. It's a benefit
offered to everyone. If you're excited about this opportunity and wish
to downplay it, that's your choice. I like "cloud" computing.


You are just fundanentally a lazy **** whio is happy to let bad
programmers ru(i)n your life.

Your choice.
