Where the Clouds Live!

As I have been working on my thesis research, and constantly uploading images, documents, and all kinds of scholarly things to cloud spaces like Google drive, or Dropbox (I'm sure you can relate) I wondered where do these documents go? How are they saved?
 Where do the clouds live? What do they look like? Do they have a space, or are all my documents stored in some incorporeal invisible space?

Turns out they do live somewhere.

Kind of like here.


It took me a short search of googling Google to find this wired.com article.
One of the most shocking things I learned is all the energy that is being used to save all my precious Google Docs in data centers consume up to 1.5 percent of all the world's electricity.

It's definitely worth taking a look!
