Agreed. Infact Gmail account is not meant for storing your content Gmail disk are only temporary solutions for the not so important files, that you would want to access from anywhere. However you could only treat this as another backup solution.

I agree with the idea about disk free computers– we seem to be headed toward centralized computing. Unfortunately, we should be wary of it for two reasons that are immediate to me: 1) The is an environmental impact actually, it is extremely more energy efficient to access data stored locally on a hard disk then to always be sending and receiving data from a google data center. Even though it gives we freedom of movement, so does a laptop. Adding up constant communication and signal amplification, etc. across the country for a period of say 5 years would add up to a lot more energy than just using your laptop. 2) Be wary about relinquishing control of your information to google (even thought they are wonderful) and becoming dependent on them. In a few years, they may be used by so many people that they could charge enormous rates to manage such online information for you. A simple change of policy and you may be paying a monthly computing bill that wasn’t there before.
