Compare the advancement in disk drives with that in automobiles: A car in 1956 cost about $2,500, could hold five people, weighed a ton, and could go as fast as 100 mph.
If the auto industry had kept the same pace as disk drives, a car today would cost less than $25, hold 160,000 people, weigh half a pound and travel up to 940 mph.
If cars kept up with computers, they’d take several minutes to turn on, and crash a few times a day.
Makes me start to wonder again..
Why don’t computers turn on instantly like everything else that has a computer in it?
