I’m old enough to remember your typical computer filling warehouse-sized buildings.

Nowadays, your average cellphone has more computing power than those behemoths.

I have a micro SD card with 256GB capacity, and I think they are up to 2TB. On a device the size of a fingernail.

That is all definitely amazing, but data storage is a fundamentally different process with far fewer constraints than continuous computation.
