Believe it or not, the present is not as gloomy as you think
Please memorize the second one.
This is so important to me
I saw Scott posted this and I was really hoping to scroll down and see some plausible argument that this all stems from the elimination of lead.
Seriously though, this is good stuff to keep in mind.
About that second one, not that their point isn’t true, but the decade they selected was the 1940s. OK, so we’re not in the middle of a world war! Go us! But I’d really prefer a more typical and less cherry-picked example.
Agreed. I seem to recall that a previous time I saw someone use the 1940’s for this, someone responded with an explanation of how it’s still true even if you don’t use a world-war decade. However, I have no idea where I saw that, so take plenty of salt.
The first time I saw a calculation of how much data was on the Internet, it was five petabytes. To think, just a few years ago the entire Internet could be stored inside Data’s brain, with room to spare. We’ve come so far.
