• Resumen

  • Heaven talks about how Internet users lost his/her property to the cloud. Kyle Goodwin wants his stuff back. One day, he decided to set up a company in Ohio to film local sports events. For a while, business was good, but then he got a shock. To keep his valuable footage safe, Goodwin had placed it in a popular storage facility. On 19 January last year, all those assets disappeared without warning. As did everything put there by more than 150 million others. When he asked for his livelihood back, he was refused. So he decided to go to court. Goodwin's experience represents a much deeper problem--and it is at the heart of the way people use technology today.
