If one was so inclined, HDD space is cheap enough that someone could create their own "cloud" that nobody else could access (as opposed to Google drive, which is on open internet the only thing is the UUID to represent the specific person).
Most of the "smart" systems could be recreated if someone really wanted, without the need for outside input.
I was seriously considering this as a potential business before facing the fact that people wouldn't want to pay for that kind of custom solution when a "smart device" will do the same and potentially more without the extra costs.
When I read 'cloud', I read 'someone else's hard drive'
When I read 'smart', I read 'someone else is controlling it'
Yeah, fuck that
Exactly.
