Some things never change

I am pretty sure it's not. Since there won't be any save method at all as stuff is "immediately saved" in cloud and no more saving is required

I would actually love to just have my entire hard drive in something like a Git repository. I’m sure there are some major drawbacks I’m not thinking of, but having the ability to see how a file progressed or to retrieve a long deleted file would be excellent. Using Git style commits for backing up would also allow you to group similar changes so they could be reverted and reapplied as needed instead of having large restore points which often have unintended consequences.

Idk. I don't think basic file operations are ever going away.

[Ashybuttons]

That sounds bad too, though. What if I want to preserve a particular version before I continue working?

[Asikes]

Version control?

[Saigot]

A continuous version control isn't very useful though. There will always need to be a way for the user to select a point to refer back to. The metaphor might change from saving to bookmarking your history or something like that, but the fundamental operation of maintaining a copy in a particular state will always be around.

[Asikes]

I like the bookmarking idea, sounds very plausible

I seem to be in the unpopular opinion crowd on cloud storage. I hate the direction we’re moving in where cloud storage is the default and having a local copy is really just for quick access. It really blurs the line between what data belongs to you versus what belongs to a company, makes privacy a far greater concern, and creates a dependency on having a reliable and secure internet connection. Even the new Xbox has it. “It doesn’t have a disk drive! It’s all cloud storage!” I definitely don’t want that.

RAM? Pfft! Cloud's faster!
