I know, it gets talked about a lot, from back in the day with no hard disk drive and kilobytes were enough, but ... this made me wonder yet again:



I am sure if you told someone back in 1980 that we would have even more storage at the tip of a finger, they'd ask "what for?" I wonder how much we will have in 10 years... and what we'd be using it for...

My hopes are on Virtual Reality (games). After Johny Quest, I never stopped being intrigued by it.

But how much do WE actually carry? Even with augmented reality, we would still pull the required data as required from the cloud and discard when not relevant no more...?

As Bill Gates once said " who on earth would ever want more than 640 kb?'
The only certain thing about the future is that no one will be able to accurately predict it now :)

I used to support and manage IBM 3380s! :D When we upgraded to 3390s it was a big step forward. Triple the capacity!
 
But then the 3380 were a big step up compared to the EDS 80s we used to use. exchangable disk store 80MB Size of a large washing machine and about as noisy. Head-crashes were dramatic.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

We'll always need more and it's predictable what it'll be used for. Personal information, video, audio and games. What form those things will take is what's hard to predict. Even more HD? 3D? etc.
Juggling Hard Disks over concrete floors ends in tears 5% of the time.
