[liberationtech] decloudification: reverting to typewriters?

[A.Cammozzo]

According to newspapers [1], one of the outcomes of the NSA leaks is to
push Russian secret services to use typewriters.

Sounds a bit like a joke... how serious is this?

However it's very likely that some form of de-cloudification is going to
happen.
What steps will take government and corporate IT to get back full (or at
least reasonable) control of their data?
Using paper as an extreme form of data protection may perhaps be viable
for some secret service, but surely not as a general case!
