Not really. Cloud services have much greater reliability than your PC-- if you were to store your data on your computer with that 1Gbps connection, that doesn't save it from a hard drive failure.
Services like Amazon's S3 have the advantage of redundancy.
Oh wow. I never expected this many replies... But anyways, thank you for the advice. I guess I am expecting people to be like me, which I realize is a bit ridiculous, now that you point it out. I think I've been doing a little bit of what you said about trying to find people... I took up an internship at a public radio station because I thought the people there would be interesting, and the people there are great, but the age difference between me and everyone can be a bit awkward at times. I guess I need to repeat that kind of scenario where I put myself out there to meet new people.
You're absolutely right about doing stuff as a good cure for mental blocks. I got a road bike and started going for daily rides, and that helped a bit.
