In just thirty years, hardware technology has made quite considerable progress. If you don't believe it, look at the following image where a comparison is made between what it meant to have 20GB of disk space 30 years ago and 32GB today. The comparison is clear both in physical space and price and weight, especially the latter.

The comparison in figures is:
IBM 3380 Disk Systems – 1980 8 IBMs 3380 Disk Systems de 2.5GB cada uno (que suman 20GB)
Estimated Value: $648,000 to $1,137,000
Peso: 2.000kg (2.000.000g) microSD – 2010
A 32GB microSD card
Estimated value: US$100 to US$150
Peso: 0.5g (0.0005kg)
