Traditional hard drives are a bottle neck? What are you filling your raid arrays with, specially encoded pixie dust? And do you think your cloud storage provider is really putting all of your data on SSD? Raid arrays or cloud storage? The issue isn't speed versus capacity. You can get both with a raid array, with a lower cost over time generally speaking than actual cloud storage. Especially true if you are leasing a server, shared or otherwise. Cloud storage is for accessibility, and for people that can not set up a home NAS. Do you think I put all of my images on flickr because I can get to them quicker or edit them easier? No, I do it because it is the easiest way to share them and get to them from anywhere. Same holds true for my workspace, youtube and all of the other cloud storage services I use. If you think working from a drive is a bottleneck, try accessing dropbox from a crappy hotel internet connection. If I had a better upstream at home, I would just get everything from my NAS.
woulda been better if the infographcis shrunk each deprecated medium and put that into a grid showing , how many floppys would fit in a zip drive, how many zip drives fit in a jaz, etc etc.
And he measures life by how much money one makes. Bahahaha, you're digging yourself lower and lower. By the way, realize this is the internet, I can say I make more than you, too. Doesn't mean it's true.
