You just have to be careful and not fearful of technology.
I would add it is helpful if you read a bit about the new service & learn its advantages & limitations. That way you can make an informed decision. Just jumping in and making assumptions is how people run into problems. (By reading I mean some of the tech articles which pop up like mushrooms when something new debuts. The Terms of Service are impenetrable legalese & useless for regular folks).
