Gus, Great article, thanks. The paragraph that I focused on was this one: "Declining storage prices are helping IS managers to at last implement business-critical projects that require huge volumes of data. The money that bought 40 Mbytes of storage in 1989 buys 8 Gbytes today. Only with such low prices can a broadcast company, for example, begin to digitize 500,000 hours of video that requires 60 exabytes of storage (1 exabyte is 1 million terabytes). That single application represents 100 times the estimated amount of external data that exists worldwide today." For a different view of what is coming soon to a disk drive sector near you, see the QNTM thread, exchange2000.com.
