    And now I have a phone capable of taking photos too large to be stored on that drive. Crazy how quickly technology can progress.

      70 years is a long loooooooooooooooooong time for “technology”

        Only recently! For the past 10,000 years a 70-year span would not see a single significant change.

        (If I mix this up, someone correct me.)

        I think it was at Olduvai, or somewhere in the Great Rift Valley, that hominids spent 600,000 years hammering out the same exact stone tools.

        I mean, yeah, that’s what he was getting at. How 70 years seems like a long time in the context of modern technology despite being very short in the sense of human history.
