The great enthusiasm for the "cloud" is turning into lukewarm consideration in the face of the obvious and tangible dangers of industrial espionage... something for which the trend towards "FOG computing" is starting to be "adjusted" ( source Bit Mat http://www.bitmat.it/blog/news/40322/fog-computing-quando-la-nebbia-si-combina-con-cloud ) .
FOG computing, in addition to limiting the response latency for data processing on servers "scattered around the planet", is due to the bottlenecks of the infrastructure on which data transmission relies, aims to bring control back to local for obvious reasons of security and confidentiality…

Therefore it is essential to develop an awareness as soon as possible that reduces the use of technology designed and created to spy on us, and at the same time there is a strong need for technology that respects privacy and is able to protect it from overbearing and incorrect subjects.
