We are forgetting that until very recently storage was so expensive that there was an expectation of forgetting. This should be talked about more because it changes the picture dramatically.
- DLA 6y agoThat's a fantastic point you raise. It's dirt cheap to collect (IoT devices, drones, Digital Globe and the like) and very inexpensive to store data in volumes that were once the only viable for governments or well-funded and motivated private entities (e.g. hedge funds). That opens the door to a radically different set of possibilities.
