It's hard to imagine a computer today without a hard drive. Yet early computers used devices as primitive as punch cards to store data. Actual hard disk drives didn't show up until much later. Some early models were only 5 megabytes, used fifty 24? disks, and cost a measly $35,000. Nowadays, drives cost somewhere around a dollar a Gigabyte. That?s crazy when you think about it ? 35,000 dollars for 5 megabytes back in 1960, and now 60 dollars for 60,000 megabytes. It?s just phenomenal how technology comes and goes with the blink of an eye, not to mention prices dropping drastically within three months of any product release (it seems that way anyways).
