Compare 1 GB 20 years ago to 1 GB today:

Imagine what 1 TB would look like a few years from now....

Lol.. ahh the good old days!

I remember when my whole Hard Drive was 20mb, and the same size as todays 1tb Drives.
If you wanted more space, A second Drive was a meer $1999

haha, my cousins computer which he only got rid of sometime last year, only had a harddrive that was 200mb. It's nice to see

I had a 386 with a harddrive size of under 100mb. That drive is the same size as my 320gb in this pc. I had other computers with 4gb drives. I dont know how I ever lived with a drive that small. My 2 320gb drives are over half full!

That's crazy, haha. I remember those really small drives

Want to know why we need more? Information has expanded beyond bits and pieces.

I could imagine one thumb drive costing like $200-300.

I have a Tandy 1000SL from 1987- back in the days when PCs didn't even come with hard drives because they were just too expensive!

 

[Robdale]

That's really amazing, i mean i cannot ever imagine that it was like that.

I've still got an old IBM laptop in my house. 256mb RAM and a 13GB hard drive!

The DOS was MS-DOS 3, stored in ROM on the system board. How quaint!

My first comp (or rather, my mother's comp) was an old Apple computer, tricked out to the max. It had about 500 or so MB of space on its harddrive.

Amazing to see how far technology has come in only twenty years. Image what the next twenty will bring.
