Postscript: Flipping my post on its head, "The Urban, Infrastructural Geography Of ‘The Cloud’." If you are interested in walking into the cloud, read that. This understanding is backwards. The data a user consumes comes from the cloud, which is located in some physical location that conforms to some rhyme and reason that looks like economic geography. The economic geography I'm describing is a smartphone input. The "user" produces data, which goes into the cloud. That data input is just noise, lots of information with no rhyme or reason until some algorithm finds the signal and transforms all those 1s and 0s into knowledge.
