Enough with floppy-analogies.
Those who know, know that Algol-68 was 20 kbytes and it was one full roll of punched paper tape. Weighing 100 grams.
So, 2 TB would require 10000 tons of papertape. (2e12/20e3/10/1e3)
And as we all know Finland's yearly paper production is 4 million tons. Hence it could produce only one 2TB SD-disk worth of reliable paper tape storage in a day.
