Over 25 years ago, a 5 megabyte hard drive for the Tandy TRS-80 cost several thousand dollars, and came in a box the size of today's mid-tower PCs (due to the size of the circuit board, which was notoriously flaky).

Today, I can go down the street to my local Micro Center store and pick up a 16 gigabyte USB flash drive for less than $30.

I feel very, very old.
