   Wow, what an eye opener. To think I was born in 1980. I can remember back when having a Gigabyte harddrive was big.
   I wonder how much technology will grow in the next 30 years.

   Me too, i saved for months and months to buy a 1gb hard drive ( i was only 13 at the time), and back then, that was huge. Bigger than all of my mates had.

   Now I have over 6tb of storage connected to my computer. How times change. As Vineeth pointed out in his comment, in 10 years from now, we'll have tb's on SD Cards.

   Soon it might become antiquated to measure storage in GB. I still have a 256MB flash drive, but anything less than 1GB is getting harder to find. How much longer until we have that 1 TB thumb drive?

   1980 was when I first got my hands on a computer, beginning to learn BASIC programming on a Sinclair ZX80. It had one (1) kilobyte of RAM. Later that year, we bought an 8 kilobyte RAM expansion kit.

   Well, this a great example where we can see how techniques progress. Maybe 7-8 years ago I had a computer with 3.2 GB hard disk. Now, I have 1 TB. :)
