When cloud computing gets much more traction, one of the implications is that users will "download" and "share" files and download apps a whole lot less than they do now. Venture capitalist Fred Wilson doesn't think so. The file metaphor is necessary and fundamental when digital objects have to be pushed around like physical objects. There is no need when objects become the equivalent of Web pages. In a cloud implementation, people do things, use things, view things and listen to things that essentially are Web addresses, not digital objects in the current sense.
