I just bought a new hard drive online. One terabyte. One hundred bucks.
Holy cow. I still remember my first hard drive, a forty megabyte monster that sat on my desk and was bigger (and much louder) than the laptop I’m using to write this. It cost something like four hundred dollars used. Now, for a quarter of the price, I get twenty-five thousand times more storage.
Isn’t technological progress marvelous?
