Privacy and On-line applications

I got excited about using Google Apps but I changed my mind about using them as soon as I visited Google Apps website. I suddenly thought about the privacy issues and how secure my files would be the moment they leave my hard drive.

But than I thought about e-mail accounts, bank accounts, driver licenses data files, medical files, etc; all this information is stored somewhere in the cyber space. We hear a lot about cyber crimes and unauthorized online data access, but aren’t cyber crimes just like any other conventional crimes. Bank s and house robberies are daily occurrence, but we still deposit our monies in banks and live in our houses.

On-line applications will soon become a part of the modern office setup, what drives business is cost cutting and using on-line applications will drive costs down for many businesses.

I am still not sure when I will start to use on-line applications.
