It's interesting to consider this observation in the context of young people who will grow up largely without the abstraction of local file storage at all. Anyone over 30 or so still feels slightly nervous or protective of their files, but that's only because we've internalized the analogy between stored data and physical stuff. I suspect the abstraction of a local filesystem will become more and more quaint and give way to popular abstraction involving a remote, distributed filesystem of some sort.
