Storage gets larger in storage size, smaller in physical size, faster, cheaper, and easier to add to your system. These are givens and aren't really anything more than confirming instances of Moore's Law, which states that computing power doubles every 18 months.

That doesn't stop us from noticing some of the wonderful very large plasma display panels.
