My friend Lee shared with me this picture of him holding a 200gb SD card.
200 gigabytes! Anyone else remember 5.25 inch floppy disks with a massive 160kb per side?
It's things like this that bring home the feeling that we really are living in the future.
Remember floppy disks like Lee says?
The Vic-20 had 3.5kb RAM unless you added the 16kb RAM pack.
My first job out of school as a 15 year old kid was loading up the backup tapes on the hospital PDP-11 mini computer. I think those had under 200kb capacity.
And now ...
There's a new SSD champion: Nimbus Data has released a drive with a record 100TB of flash storage.
What next?
We are getting to the point where our day-to-day tech is beyond what we would read about in science fiction when we were growing up.
