Gmail as a virtual drive

If you've managed to not completely fill up your gmail yet, this might be the program for you. With it you can use your gmail as if it is an actual drive on your computer, neat if you don't have too much space or you want your material to be easily accessible. So far Gmail has rarely let me down, but it seems like a good idea to back everything up somewhere else. Heck, this might even be your backup drive!

Slowly we're getting to a stage where what we use is no longer linked to where we are. Eventually which computer you use will be no more important than which individual metro train you take, or which newspaper you pick up. They will simply be tools. Near common good items that can be shared, used or left behind as you will.

Soon even processing will be done at a central location, away from where you are. All your PC will do is catch a data stream and display it on your screen. This will mean that you will only need a data input and data output device. Eventually even those will become virtual and then we will no longer need to carry around anything bigger than a pin head, which will connect us with the World Wide Web.
