Thank you very much for this good advice!

Number 3 I see is naturally going away. If I look at my kids: The barely do not even know what a USB-Stick is nor what it is good for. My kids asscociate "storing portable information" with "there is a cloud service to do that" - which of course is its own field ;)

Additionally I try to build awareness for mobile devices and cloud:

  • Live so as you knew your mobile device is hacked (and do e.g. no banking on it)

  • When putting things in the cloud think of them as being tomorrow publicly available. If that's okay for you - put it there.

E.g. I have a bunch of roleplaying game material as PDF stored in the cloud. It saves me GB of local data. And when my account is compromised: Have fun with playing RPGs - it doesn't bother me.
