Storage Effect

Internet storage conveys raw and tasty digital content to the masses

I had an absolutely fabulous lunch for less than $10 in Tokyo.  I love sushi, and the cheapest raw fish in Japan tastes far better than anything I can get at home in Minnesota.  If you haven’t been to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, I highly recommend it - as much for the sights and sounds as the food. 

Because of that funky conveyor belt, this place is able to feed huge volumes of people great food at a great price. 

The internet does the same for the world’s collective creative talent.  We can take whatever we want off of the digital conveyor belt - a direct connection to the best the world can turn into ones and zeroes.  And today’s high capacity storage systems make it all possible.   

The sky’s the limit for content storage

What’s happening with content in the clouds makes 1 TB drives seem downright inadequate.  It may seem like there’s a lot online now, but volume will grow even faster in the future. Do you know it takes 720 gigabytes to store one movie for Panasonic’s futuristic 150″ TV? 

The storage industry will have its hands full making room for our insatiable digital appetite.

Now if I could just find some sushi online…
