Are computers getting more complicated?

When I was working, we were advised not to store any confidential info on children on the Cloud.
Initially it was thought to be great means of sharing info with colleagues, then were were told that there were risks involved, so we had to stop using it.
I also have dexterity issues, so a PC with large keyboard is essential.
As they say, horses for courses. Choose what suits you best.

I think a lot of control we had in the early years has gone. I can't easily do some of small fixes I used to but I equate it to car stuff. The days when you could tinker with your car are long gone too.

Now they need plugging in to a computer to run diagnostics.

I actually like the Cloud, means I can access things on the go. I don't miss my huge desktop computer at all :-)

With Window 10, you can still save documents to your PC.
I make folders in advance in "My Documents" and then choose,
File,
Save as,
choose My computer, as opposed to Cloud,
then , Documents,
and save to the appropriate folder.
I hate using the cloud.

me three - suspect theres a degree of resistance in me but if its useful I would like to understand - I don't

Another bemused soul here.

Although my tech savvy children and their significant others have tried to explain iCloud to me in words of one syllable, I don't "get it", either. What is it? Where is it? More importantly, how do I get stuff out of it that I have put into it?
