Tape -> floppy -> hard drives were evolutionary
and the year-on-year
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
compound interest in volume stored is amazing, but
only as seen over a
decade or three. (Although, seen from the perspective of a century,
that'll maybe look somewhat disruptive).
Evolutionarily, that should be
wire => metal tape => plastic tape => metal disks => floppy disks
over more than three decades, right?
