Yes, I think many people think otherwise, even in tech. To many “the cloud” is some sort of magical, mystical place data can go. And companies selling cloud services perpetuate the myth.
I don’t buy this. Companies like the cloud because they know their data is going to computers that they don’t have to manage.
On premise means they need to manage the hardware. It means they need a staff on hand to maintain the hardware. They have to deal with all of those issues them selves.
I am in tech consulting and I’ve never met a customer that didn’t understand what cloud actually is.
Even my boomer relatives know this and they know jack shit about the tech world.
Most people have never given it any thought. Their photos are stored on iCloud, if you pushed them you might get them to think about it and then they would realize it’s just another computer, but most people have never even considered where the pictures go.
Sure, just like the statement “Even my boomer relatives know this and they know jack shit about the tech world.” is a vague generalization with no data to back it up.
What if I told you “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer.

Edited for plurality.
Yes
They are called CEO CIO or CTO

“Most people” is a stretch. This is a vague generalization with no data to back it up.

The data is my own relatives. Where as you’re just pulling stuff out of your ass. Big difference.
