Dit is volgens mij ook waar de meeste mensen die niet zo van cloud computing houden bang voor zijn: Je geeft je data uit handen en verliest de controle erover.

I would prefer not to.

March 26, 2009 – 7:39 pm

In this very attitude did I sit when I called to him, rapidly stating what it was I wanted him to do—namely, to examine a small paper with me. Imagine my surprise, nay, my consternation, when without moving from his privacy, Bartleby in a singularly mild, firm voice, replied, “I would prefer not to.”

I sat awhile in perfect silence, rallying my stunned faculties. Immediately it occurred to me that my ears had deceived me, or Bartleby had entirely misunderstood my meaning. I repeated my request in the clearest tone I could assume. But in quite as clear a one came the previous reply, “I would prefer not to.”

“Barleby, the Scrivener” by Herman Melville
