    Do You Know What This Is


    Can you guess what it is they are loading onto the aircraft?

    It is a 5 MB Hard Disk Drive for the IBM 305 RAMAC, the first IBM 'SUPER' computer released in September 1956.
    This HDD weighed over a ton and stored an 'astonishing' (@ the time) 5 MB of data.
    Do you appreciate being able to reach into your pocket & pull out your 8 GB memory stick now - or perhaps even your 3GS iPhone with 32 GB of memory?!?

    Is it USB compatible? I could use something that big so people wouldn't steal it... I've had my USB stole countless times in school when I leave it in and then print something, then I live the room for 20 seconds, and nobody is in the room. Then when I come back, its not there =/

    Pictures like that make you realize how far our technology has come. Inside my BlackBerry is a microSDHC card with 16 GB RAM, the size of my thumbnail! I love it and hope it keeps up like this!

    It will continue, as Moore's Law has shown, but there are physical limitations. At some point our chips will stop miniaturizing.

    I bet they'll get down to the size of a grain of rice before they can't be shrunk anymore.
