arstechnica.com — Pioneering work on magnetic materials in the 1980 lead to the discovery of the phenomena known as giant magnetoresistance. This, in turn, rapidly led to ultra high density magnetic storage read heads that are used in today's hard drives. The discoverers of this phenomena are awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in physics.

... You're stupid. If we didn't have hard drives as big as they are today, or at all, you wouldn't have made that comment, and i wouldn't have to call you stupid...

I did not realize how much work went into Hard drives. They really are advanced technology.

I agree that it's weird to think someone can spend a large portion of their life staring into a TV screen without having a clue as to how it works (which is pretty simple actually), but some people just don't have an interest to understand their surroundings like that. I wouldn't call it sad though.
