I in a way agree with the OP however I think we are decades away from the proposed future. The problem is multi-tiered - If you are outside of a major city, chances are you don't have internet wireless coverage everywhere. In fact many places in the city face this issue. This is more of a physics issue than anything. Inside my office building I get fairly bad coverage. Don't forget tunnels and such. My apartment has ZERO coverage. Only my wifi. And not all apartments I visit have wifi or coverage. - Price and transfer rate. Sending my hard drive to dropbox is about $50 a month (or more) and not to mention taking about a month to actually upload. - I don't want to rely on a company like Dropbox to exist. If they fail (see delicious) I don't want to be stuck with nothing. In fact single points of failure are bad. And I don't mean Dropbox can have a hard drive failure, I mean what if DB decides to triple their price. - America's internet infrastructure kinda sucks with current insanity pushed by isps regarding data caps/etc. Just wait till people REALLY put our infrastructure to the test.
