Why Snowden is the Terminator

Some say he's a whistleblower. Others say he's a traitor. I say he's a future-robot coming back to stop some sort of future-danger from the future. The facts are right there.

What he did may be either right or wrong, but he definitely put a huge halt on progress of technology. Technology goes through phases. Most recently, it went from an age of tapes, floppies, and cassettes to an age of digital disks, and now it's entering an age of cloud-storage.

However, thanks to Snowden, or as I call him, T-800, people are scared to switch to cloud computing. People are afraid that anything they save in the cloud can be easily accessed and abused or somehow used against them by an enemy or competitor. This fear isn't wrong to have, but it wouldn't be as prevalent, and technology would progress more smoothly, if Mr. Termi-Snowden-ator hadn't pulled the brakes on technology by scaring the public about using the cloud.

I wouldn't be worried about cloud computing if I were you, though. At least I wouldn't be worried as much about that as I would be of whatever future-danger Snowdenator 800 is trying to stop! I won't go off on a tangent about that for now, but if you asked me what it is, I'd say it probably has something to do with upsetting the Ancient Aliens. Whatever it is, remember that future-danger is way worse than modern danger, so watch your back.
