The Evolution of Storage



No, it's not the history of closets!

One thing that constantly amazes both geeks and dorks and jocks alike is the ever increasing capacity of computers. Any TV show, film or book that dares mention the specs of a computer on screen becomes laughably dated only a year after it comes out. So dated, in fact, that it's hard to go back more than a few years to a place where people could pronounce gigawatts as 'jiggerwats' and get away with it.

(That would be in 1985's Back to the Future)

Now we all know (sort of) what a giga is, merely due to the fact that our computers have so much storage. The not so humble gigabyte, however, will soon be replaced by the Terabyte, and god help us all, the Petabyte.

How DID we get here?

Hats off to Gizmodo, home of gadgety goodness, for the original find.

lost girl has people you like how many can u like in defiance I really don't like any of them so far its like stargate universe if you stop caring about them you just stop caring whether it gets cancelled or not. I took in an old episode of stargate the other day its chalk and cheese u really route for the cast not to mention its well defined bad guys. If defiance got nuked next episode would you care for the cast or cheer that something interesting has happened

The idea that the cast and plot is slowly introduced may be fine for a costume drama that crawls along but sf should grab you from the get go. After 5 hours are we any wiser about anything?
