    That has not really anything to do with “computing”, which can be done regardless of what network is used or even without a network.

    This also does not really affect weather or not cloud computing is flawed or not, since you can access the cloud without wireless connections.

    This all being said, wireless networking is a big security problem, we have just collectively decided that the convenience is worth it.

      It was just one example dude. The entire system we’ve built is so full of holes it’s basically impossible to safeguard data that ends up on a computer.

      Hell, someone literally hacked and blew up an Iranian nuclear centrifuge which didn’t even have a connection, taking advantage of capabilities which security experts around the world weren’t even aware a computer was capable of.

        Yeah?

        This is what happens when system complexity grows unconstrained.

        We may look at a piece of software and say, “right, this software is secure!”, but the clock has already started ticking toward the next vulnerability found.

        This does not make the field of computing flawed, but rather the systems we run computing on is flawed.
