@levie @pmarca in 1999 the Nokia 3210 battery lasted for weeks, today my iPhone barely lasts a day. Not everything improves over time …

@benfysh @levie Your Nokia 3210 didn't do s*** compared to the iPhone :-).

@levie @pmarca I'm curious about the change in the amount of energy required to read or write a MB of data.

@levie @codepo8 but the amount we store is completely different too so while it is a huge improvement, we are data hungry!

@dan_jenkins @levie wasteful I'd say. Look at the animated GIFs with subtitles video grabs on imgur. Terabytes of waste.

@codepo8 @levie but the fact is we need to be comparing the cost of terabytes and petabytes with gigabytes 2 decades ago - I do agree tho

@levie @datafoxco I remember wanting to open a 'BBS' in the late 80's and a 540MB hard drive would have cost me $1,200+ #GoodOldTimes

@levie @pmarca dreaming of the day of 10-20 TB flash drives

@levie did mankind also level up in that timespan? More tolerance, less conflict, more gender equality, not sure and somewhat saddening

@michaelhoglund @levie progress in human nature happens on a completely different time scale than data storage.
