The whole world has been revolutionized by the miniaturization of memory.  Gadget after gadget.  Cell phones are one major example.  You do not just make calls on them.  They are small hand held computers.  With gazillions of gigabytes of memory enabling it to do almost anything.  And the beat goes on.  Every day something new comes out.  All inventions are possible because computer chips keep getting smaller and cheaper and can hold more memory.  I really do not feel I have to jump on the band wagon and buy the latest gadget.  It will not necessarily make my life better.  I have too many distractions in my life already.
