Anyone remember the days when a gig for hard drive was huge?  Yeah, that's right, I'm probably older than dirt. Big%20smile
Our first office computer was a 8Mhz CP/M system from Northstar - 15 users sharing a 5Meg hard drive.

Imagine when there is finally a storage medium that will be cheap & able to contain your entire entertainment collection, i.e. music, movies, tv shows, games, pictures et al. Then the next step will be the implanting of said storage device in your brain with immediate access by simple thought, straight to the necessary sense(s). Confused
