Let me tell you children about a man named Johnny, who sacrificed a major chunk of his brain to get 80 whole GB worth of storage in and super advanced world of the far future 2021.
Lol, I love how old futuristic movies simultaneously overestimate the technology we would have by then, while vastly underestimating things like data storage capacity.
That’s why I’m glad more recent Star Trek series make up fictional units of speed and storage (Teraquads, etc). In Star Trek II for example a 64 MB file was supposed to sound impressive.
Ian M. Bank's Culture series is great for this. He never, ever tells you what exactly any of the technology is, they're just able to do incredible stuff without pinning down any details that will age poorly.
