| This post isn't even interesting... cassette tapes? backup storage being equated to the progress of other countries?
The internet is nothing for everyone. I mean by that, as the internet is going to be used based on the person who is using it's needs..
Online back up use is not going to make or break the internet or fuel progress.
You can't make broad statements about other countries. Each country in how it used the internet has a different reason. Some countries, had little in the lines of tools so this was like handing them a gift from above, so to speak. The United States wasn't hurting like you make it sound, and in case you were asleep through the 90's and the early 2000's, the internet super charged our nation like never before.. remember the bubble? If you understand economics better, you'd not make that statement at all. Its easy to fuel progress where there once was none or little.

And these days, more people in this category, like Karl said, will use other hard drives, or hell, even DVD's to back up data.. cassette tape is, like you said, the whip and buggy.
And the downward spiral? What is this "downward spiral" you are speaking of? |
