Now think about the amount of storage we will have 45 years from now.
It’s funny to see cost per GB on the right. Back in 1980, most people didn’t even know what a Gigabyte might be.
Around 2000 I remember a guy at the computer store telling me that 20 gigs was a ton and how would I even use it? Well, one pirated 700 Meg movie at a time is how (most pirate copies tried to keep movies to 700 mb so they’d fit on a burned cd)
linux distributions used to do the same. now they dgaf, and some iso don’t even fit on a single layer dvd.
hell, i just purged more than a “cd’s worth” of old kernels out of /boot here.
I always chuckle thinking about taking a 1TB Micro SD back in time and watching people’s heads explode.
I remember being in college in the very early 90s and a friend got a machine with 2 2gb hard drives and wondering what he was going to do with all that space. Now I have a NAS at home with something like 100TB and it’s almost 75% full.
Ahoy, matey! 🤣
