Saying that someone has their head is in the clouds usually has a negative connotation. In the digital era, we might have to rethink that expression! Our digital selves should seriously look at having our head in and leveraging 'the cloud'. There are many advantages. Let's take a look at some. The 'cloud' of course means that instead of just saving our digital assets on our local hard drives, we use the internet as the path, or means, to have copies of our files saved on various host servers.
