At least you ppl started your life with MB's ! my first machine had a 128 bytes RAM and a 256 KB HDD! oddly enough, i still switch it on from time to time ... and it still works!

Its a hard disk at 1956....

 

The Volume and Size of 5MB memory storage in 1956.

 

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD).

 

The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data.

 

Now look at the 4Gb thumb drive you have - Thats Technology......
