Not disagreeing with you, but you have to say the advances we've seen in storage have thus far been almost beyond belief. I remember my dad bringing home our family's first modern PC, an original iMac. It replaced some ancient thing with a monochrome display that we kept in the basement. (I wish they still had it, whatever it was—would be fun to play around with). We thought it was like something out of science fiction–you could use Netscape to do a Lycos search! It played DVDs! It came with two: a demo disk and A Bug's Life. The DVDs (4.7 GB) had a larger capacity than the hard disk! (4 GB) Today, my MacBook Pro has 512 GB of storage. 8 doublings in 16 years (1998-2014) and that's with a change in form factor from desktop to laptop, and in storage medium from hard disk to SSD.
