Poor Bill Gates. Despite suffering through an embarrassing computer crash, nicknamed a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD), Bill Gates promised that Microsoft would help consumers stay plugged into technology. The BSOD error happened during his high-profile 2005 keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show.

The embarrassing BSOD prompted jokes and guffaws, but Gates makes a compelling argument. In the next decade, it’s very likely that consumers will store most of their digital media in cloud storage and not locally on their computers.
