The hard drive IBM shipped in 1956:
* about $121,819.66 per mb in today's money.
And nowadays you can get a 2TB SSD that fits in your pocket and costs like $150.
Can someone do the math on how much cheaper and smaller memory is now?
It's a veritable fuckton cheaper. In scientific terms at least.
Nailed it.
I'd wager to say it might even be 2 or even 3 fuck tons cheaper!
