In 1995, the average cost per gigabyte was $1,120. Last year it was $.05. 22,000X+ improvement in 2 decades will change a lot of things.

    @levie that says a lot though to normalize also take into account how much data sets and performance demands have also grown.

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

    @levie @pmarca Sure, gigabyte prices continue to go down, but what are we doing about out-of-control Big Mac prices? http://static.cdn-seekingalpha.com/uploads/2012/12/18/saupload_James-Cornehlsen-121217-Fig-1.png …
