This Tweet said it all, until the account was deleted, it highlighted how we do more for less with each passing year. The Tweet asked: "Where are we going?
#Singularity." The Tweet included the image below, which I have embedded via
imgur. The picture shows a massive 250MB hard drive (1979) versus a 16GB microSD card (2013). In addition to the size difference there is a massive price difference. I have no idea what the source of the image is, I have no idea who the original author is. Below are some additional links to the image, the image has been reposted by multiple people.
