I think the author is missing the point of the original article. The point was not that files are going away. It's just that the concept of file is not that important for the majority in 2014. Non-tech people go to Spotify to listen to music, open Netflix to watch a movie, work with documents on Google Drive and our Grannies don't have to learn what a file is to use their phones (for something more than just calling us).
