I think you're projecting a bit. FWIW I'm pushing 30, have worked on the East coast for finance as well as "in the valley", and generally fall on Yegge's "conservative" side of the spectrum.
A lot of other commenters immediately jumped to the medical records argument, but all I was saying is that for a LOT of companies that make the "we have to have everything on site" argument...it's just not true.
Projecting? Unsure in which direction you mean, but fwiw I'm pushing 30 my self (26) and use apple products.
But I agree with you, the medical records argument is kind of boring. But, not everything needs to be outsourced; There is value in keeping things on site, if not for anything besides job creation!
My pet-peeve in this is that it has been now for a while (and is trending upwards, fast) that we don't see any problems at all, long or short term with simply "shipping it to the cloud", where it is everything from medical records, to phone contact lists to personal communications with our other significant other.
We as a community are quickly eroding any expectation of privacy and security all in the name of being agile. I guess it just rubs me the wrong way.
I should tweet about it, on my iphone and then copy it to a file for prosperity and upload it to my google drive...
