Obviously I’m not saying storage technology doesn’t improve. But it’s incremental improvements, not exponential like these stories always claim.
idk, I’ve still got some 512kb floppies somewhere.
Next to me is a 512GB flash drive.
1997 - 2023 is 26 years for a 1,000,000x larger storage device.
So come 2049, that should be at 512PB, they’re forecasting 10PB.
I say it sounds reasonable enough.
