All of Mandkind's Music in Your Pocket in 10 years
I just read an interesting blog post on Freedom-to-tinker.com discussing the insane amount of music you'll be able to carry around with you.
Consider the following:
- Apple is already selling iPods that will hold 40,000 songs.
- Storage capacity will continue to double every year and half (see Moore's Law and Kryder's Law)
- Based on this within 10 years you will be able to carry all the music that mankind as ever produced in your pocket for about $100.
Anyway, check out the post...he goes on to discuss some of the rammifications of this for the music industry.
Given this rate of change you may well be able to store all of the media (movies, music, literature) that mankind has ever created on your iPod within 15 years.
Things, they are a-changin'
