It's a Digital Age, no, it's a Cloud Digital Age, no no, it's an AI,Cloud, Digital Age where everything is saved forever and lives in your pocket, anytime you want. Until it breaks. Gets dropped in a lake. Hard drive with all your crypto goes click click click. Pirate hackers hold your business server hostage for ransom.
