Remember when the first 4 MB flash drives came out? Remember we were excited that this was the future, that floppies, floppy drives would finally disappear? Remember how sensational it was when you first got a motherboard that could boot from a USB drive?
If you remember those times, you will understand why it is such a sensation to have 512 GB of storage in a box of matches today, and even the bigger brother, which has a capacity of no less than 1 TB, has already introduced itself.
The progress is huge. We put previously unimaginable storage capacity in our pockets with a loose gesture, and then plug it into a USB port to retrieve data from it at work or at a friend. There’s no need for optical drives anymore, no need for CDs, no DVDs, and sure, there are more and more people who don’t even remember the big and small floppy, as we called them then. 1,44 MB vs. 512 GB.
