I find this rather amazing...the photo was taken a couple of years ago, 1GB these days is far smaller again.

Yeah incredible isn't it!

I used to visit a computer shop which had an old 64 meg hard drive displayed on the counter. I think it was about 2 1/2 feet high and 12 x 6 inches on the base.

64 meg :shock:

I have a 4Gb memory stick which is about 1/10" thick, the width of a USB port and 1 1/2 inches long! And of course a 2 Gb micro SD card in my phone.

Where will it end?

I'll bet that baby made the lights dim when it was run up :D

And you can also squeeze a lot more than 1 GB into that space you're holding...

Evolution is amazing.

I was working with a company that was considering a one terabyte storage area network back in 2000. Admittedly it had significant realtime memory back up but the cost......

$1,000,000

I got my first computer about 20 years ago.. it was a PC XT with 4mhz processor when the turbo was turned on. 2mhz when it was turned off. With a 10 meg harddrive.

Those were the days.. I used to place Police Quest with Sonny Bonds on that Computer... wonder where it went?

Not too many years ago I paid over $200 for a 128mb sony memory stick and thought I was the coolest guy around.
