Same reason we don't heat our homes with nuclear weapons. More capacity than we need by orders of magnitude of orders of magnitude, but rather hard to extract & manage just what you want.
- ikeboy 12y agoI've got a 1.5tb hard drive that's full. I could easily use up 10tb, and probably more over the years. Storage companies buy by the petabyte. The argument that we don't need more storage doesn't work.
- ctdonath 12y agoI didn't say we don't need more storage. I said that all-you'll-ever-need capacity is meaningless if you can't get what little you need without extreme efforts. It's a "drinking from a firehose" problem.
