I remember one Christmas dinner one of my aunties asked about iCloud and how are they "storing pictures n stuff inside clouds now?" (physical clouds!)

Everyone immediately looks at me and most of them probably didn't believe me when I said it's just a marketing term for storing your data on a companies "computer"/server.

My family is mostly tech illiterate, but still call me paranoid when I tell them the actual truth behind the tech they're putting their trust in.
