This reminds me of the time, must have been the early 90's, when I bought an external hard drive for $300. The capacity: 105 MB. That's right. MEGAbytes. A 100 GB drive ten years later cost about half as much--representing a 2000x, or 200,000% increase in capacity over one decade. So: project forward, to 2016. If they can continue to increase capacity even 1/10th as much, you'll be buying a 50 TB hard drive. And it will STILL fill up way too quickly. Boy.
