When the infrastructure "disappears" it will still be there. The data has 
to be stored on a some medium somewhere. What company or companies do you 
trust to hold your companies data and your personal and the data of 
everyone else. I agree that it will happen to a point in our private 
lives. Also that it will by default push into the business world.

BUT
All that data is valuable, it gives the people in charge of it a lot of 
power. That is the part I'm worried about.

I know companies and governments store a lot of data on us now. But if you 
shrink the list of who stores the data to the few companies(governments?) 
running the "clouds", now one group has more then any separate group had 
before. 

Hard to believe I'm actually NOT into conspiracy theories. :)
