If you think that only swallows can migrate, you underestimate the most "hardworking" passengers around you-data. Unlike migratory birds, which only migrate twice a year, they fly into the "cloud" every minute for 365 days.
Every morning, your alarm clock rings, which seems to be a reminder from your mobile phone. In fact, behind it is a small "going to the cloud" action: the time you set last night has already been backed up in the cloud, ensuring that even if the mobile phone has no power for one night, it will not delay you from getting up. Your day begins with the beginning of data migration.
You ordered a salad at lunch. The order flies from the mobile phone to the cloud, like a postcard with an address, first to the "sorting center" in the cloud, and then to the kitchen system, the rider's navigation and the payment background. By the time you receive the takeaway, thousands of pieces of data may have run back and forth across the city's "Sky Expressway". It seems to be just a salad, but behind it is a small migration performance completed by data.
Even better, this migration doesn't just happen when you take the initiative. Your bracelet is silently uploading the heart rate curve, your refrigerator is quietly reporting the milk inventory, and your car is recording the road conditions. These tiny movements make up a "holographic projection" of your life in the clouds, just like migratory birds make up a huge migration map in the sky.
Of course, migratory birds also have storms and natural enemies, and so do the clouds on the data. Energy consumption is an invisible "roadblock", while privacy leakage is a hidden "predator". Therefore, the scientific and technological circles are now discussing "green migration": how to make data travel in the cloud more energy-saving and safer, just like laying a smoother air duct for migratory birds.
Imagine the future, and you may never say "I sent the data to the cloud" again, because the cloud is air, which is there when you breathe, recording and responding at any time. Your travel diary may no longer need you to write it yourself, and your suitcase has spliced your itinerary into an "electronic diary" during the process of going to the cloud. When you toss and turn in the middle of the night, the data uploaded by the mattress may know more about your sleep habits than yourself.
We often think that technology is cold, but the data of 365 days in the sky is actually more like a continuous migratory bird migration, regular and poetic. You can't see it, but you can always feel it. Instead of flying to the south or north, they fly to a new home called "Cloud", where they weave an invisible but real digital world.
So, the next time you click on the photo album and see last year's travel photos, think about it: these images have just returned from the clouds, like a small migratory bird, flying a long way just to stop in your palm.
