20GB in 1980 VS 32GB in 2010

{ March 21, 2010 }

A 20GB (eight 2.5GB) storage in year 1980 is 648000% to 758400% more expensive and 440000000% more heavy than a 32GB storage in year 2010. Fast forward 30 years and I suppose the comparison would instead be 20TB in 2010 vs 32TB in 2040?

If I am not wrong this does nothing but proves More theory according to which every 18 months microprocessors are getting twice smaller, so in 2040 a 100 Tb probably will cost 1 USD and will weight 1 gram.

are you sure we gonna reach 2040? i thought the world will destroy in 2012.
