Most peoples life work will fill 100MB, what most people read will fill
less than 1GB, we are looking at being able to get 1TB drives within 2
years, (250 GB are available now). Buy the Library of Congress on one
drive. Disk Storage and RAM is getting commodified and is now very cheap.
The problems are all in getting at the information easily. We need better
tools to do this. The paradigm shifting of information is a hot topic in
research circles. I wish I had more time to play with meta information and
user interface. When's Tedd's Meta Tool coming out? It needs to be able to
teach itself what it doesn't know.
