probably a cloud-like shape

before ive read about cloud, yan narin goal ko dati. that is to store my files in the net so i can access them anywhere, but just as you've said, we have poor internet infrastructure, i might have fast connections at home but not elsewhere, therefore accessing my files could be more of a hassle than just bringing a small thumbdrive.
i agree, as long as our internet sucks, i would still use usb sticks but not so much as before

and i dont agree with it being more cost effective. hindi libre ang net connection, malls with free wifis suck. it costs Php10 to transfer 1MB of file on time charge. if kb charge mas mahal
like i said, for now since internet is not cheap, mas praktikal nga ang portables. but once the internet charge goes down and cloud becomes mainstream, then it will be more cost effective.

and how about losing your data because your portable usb suddenly failed? that would be priceless
