Technology Advancement

I was walking around the IT show at Suntec yesterday and I was really amazed with how technology is advancing. Lets take a look about storage space.

5 years ago, a 1GB thumb drive would easily cost about 1 grand. Less than 1 year ago, 4GB thumb drive cost about 50dollars. Today, a 8GB thumb drive cost about 50 dollars and a 160GB 2.5" harddisk cost barely 100 dollars.

Looking at the advancement, we have no problem with storage. However what I would like to see is the speed of internet connections and drop of oil prices. 1TB connection? Wonder when can we have no problem with these.
