I still remember attending a CES show in Atlanta in the early Eighties, at which time I spent over $900 for a 10 megabyte hard drive to insert into my Toshiba portable notebook computer, which required floppy disks to operate. In this ad, in 1980, a 10 megabyte hard drive is advertised at over $3,000. I thought 10 megabytes was huge. We used to say “more memory than God needed”, to describe such huge storage. These days, a tiny fingernail sized solid state drive (SSD) sits in my phone and notebook computer that holds a Terabyte of data. It cost around $100. That is equal to one million megabytes. Do the math. 10,000 10 megabyte drives would be around 30 million dollars in today’s dollars. I call that progress. Imageproxy (1)
