The traditional five senses require proximity: we must be near enough to touch, taste, or see. Google Drive grants us a sense that defies space. A student in London can "feel" the presence of a document created by a colleague in Tokyo in real-time. This creates a tether to our past and future selves. We can reach back years to retrieve a lost thought or project our current ideas across the globe instantly. It is a form of telepathy mediated by the cloud, where the barrier between "my idea" and "the stored file" becomes increasingly porous. The Ghost in the Machine
where the movie is included.
