minus-square Davel23 ( @Davel23@kbin.social ) linkfedilink4•10 months agoObviously I’m not saying storage technology doesn’t improve. But it’s incremental improvements, not exponential like these stories always claim.
minus-square Froyn ( @Froyn@kbin.social ) linkfedilink6•10 months agoidk, 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.
