Practice Notes blogger and physician Daniel Essin recently asked readers, “How knowledgeable [about technology], not ‘computer-literate,’ but knowledgeable are you?”

Essin went on to explain how cloud computing works. But his blog raises the question: How many of you really understand the technology you are using?
