With banks in financial crisis, many are saying that putting your money in gold is the safest investment these days. But what about your data? Is gold a good place to put your data? Maybe we should all be living it up Trump-style and walk around with gold bars USB flash drives for our data (which we would not carry ourselves, our butler would have to haul them around trailing a few feet behind us at all times of course). Maybe those cash for gold people are right, maybe we should all be hoarding our gold, transforming all aspects of our lives into gold plated wonderlands.
