Where can I get a summary that lists the history of HD space/CPU speed
from 1965-present? |

Either way, the question is unrealistic, in '65 punchcards were still being used, hard drives were very crude and luxurious at that point in time. |

Your point? Start with a kickoff article like this. Look for links inline. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...uting_hardware There is some stuff here on IBM storage devices. For example, 1965 was about 7.25MB. But that is for mainframes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_350#IBM_350 I think in 1982 or so, I might have had a 10MB drive, which was full height. Not nearly as slim as modern drives. Sort of like the item in this project. So this is personal computing. I was able to store 2 years of work on that drive, because most of what we did could be stored as small text files. http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/SASI/SASI_Hard_Drive.htm Paul |

The graph you are looking for, from he http://www.kurzweilai.net/meme/frame...s/art0691.html is titled: "Moore's Law the Fifth Paradigm" and it tracks computational velocity from 1900 to 2000. You can find more detail on a smaller scale he http://www.transhumanist.com/volume1/moravec.htm |
