Why Files Won’t Matter
Files are going to be a thing of the past. Gone are the days of creating folders, shortcuts and managing your recycle bin (lolwut). Managing files is cumbersome. Most people are also notoriously bad at staying organized.
This is why Gmail doesn’t have folders for your inbox. If you want to find an e-mail just search for it. Let Google take care of it for you.
This is why the iTunes App Store manages all of your apps on your iPhone. So you don’t have to worry about installing and removing them.
As we move into the “post-pc” world dominated by our mobile phones and tablets we won’t be managing files anymore. We are going to be using our apps.
This is a huge shift in how we will use our computers. Instead of thinking about where your files are, you are going to think about which app you’re going to use.
This is because all of your files will be stored in the cloud. It doesn’t matter where they are. Your app will know and take care of it for you. This is seamless. This is bliss. This is exactly what iCloud is trying to achieve.
