"I'm fairly certain all of that will fit in my pocket nowadays."
Yeah- and for a couple hundred bucks. A Droid or an iPhone (or pretty much any other smartphone) can do just about everything that the machines in this pic can do. Unless you want to get specific- A smartphone cannot play betamax tapes. |

For the record, when I was at College, the entire State Govt system ran off a Vax PDP11/34 with 10MB storage, costing millions.
My first hard drive was a 20MB, which cost $3,500 - equivalent to about $20,000 now.
Right now, I have 22TB of storage on the desk beside the computer and drat-knows how much on the 3,500 CD's and DVD's I have. That 22TB cost about $3,500.
So - roughly, 1 million times the storage for the same cost. |

I have a Demo CD in my folder which has no data on it, just a printed surface that explains what it is. Its a demo to show people what a CD actually looks like.
I also have a 10 MB (not gig) hard disk with 10 platters, each about 1/4 inch thick and 1.5 ft across, which weighs 14 kgs. |
