Speaking of Micro SD cards, they are insanely small for how much data
is stored on them. I have a 2GB one for my phone and the actual memory
part only takes up half the chip (about 5mm x 7mm). I'm afraid to lose
it. I did a rough calculation once and speculate that Micro SD cards
have about the same memory density as the human brain. Based on current
estimates of how much equivilently the brain can store (~40 TB).
And they are talking about releasing 12GB MicroSDHC cards in the near
future. I think its a safe bet that we will eventually see 1TB thumb
drives for $50. After all, they already have 32GB ones. Insane,
Insane, Insane.
