Wow…it’s just mind blowing. I was just thinking of my first hard drive. 20Mb probably the size of 8 CD cases stacked,just the physical media of it and probably cost 500 bucks. I just spent 20 minutes looking for a 32gb sd card I dropped cause it’s the size of a finger nail. That sd card was 15 bucks. I remember Moore’s law,thought I Understood it,was excited by it when I was younget,now I’m just scared by it honestly. A new ok desktop is 500 bucks and that comes with a terabyte of storage, that’s 5 million times more than my first computer. My cell has more computing power than NASA had in the 80’s and probably most of the 90’s. Just mind blowing and headache causing when you really stop to think about it.
