I've lived through enough technological innovation that this type of thing should be old hat by now, but it amuses me that I finally upgraded my portable flash drive and I've got something about a quarter the physical size and a quarter the cost that has over 30x the capacity of the old one. Didn't come with a lanyard though; I'm reusing the old

It's probably good to actually think about these things sometimes, because they are still impressive, even if they're just one of many such improvements.

I still remember floppy drives...

I remember astonishing my Grandma by getting 5-1/4" floppies to boot to a menu on her old apple by typing "RUN HELLO."

On SA there's a thread in GBS reminiscing about CDs and by the time I was eleven, I'd had a turntable, a couple of casette players, and then my first CD player! This shit is CRAZY.

My issue with the iphone is that it'd make Sprint increase my bill by $20 a month. So that's $120 extra dollars a year...I'd rather keep my old smart phone until it dies and get an ipod touch to play with.

(I'm currently on an unlimited data plan for $30/month. I'm keeping this phone til it dies, haha!)
