Is 8GB a lot? Depends on the context.

I remember my first 20MB HDD. Imagined it would be impossible to ever fill this gargantuan hog. Well...
I'm young enough that the first "computer" I ever owned in my childhood was the first generation iPad. 64 GB felt huge back then and was a pretty big deal for solid state storage for the time.
I then got a junker Windows XP computer mainly because the iPad didn't let me mess around with the OS nearly as much as I wanted. Learned to program on that old computer using the iPad for online tutorials. But the hard drive was only 40 GB and it blew kid me's mind the difference in size between the single chip of the iPad and the metal brick of the hard drive, yet the hard drive has less storage.
Lol...that is still a thing that amazes me up to today. My watch now has more ram than my first 10 computers had combined with ram and HDD ๐
It is pretty insane how dense storage can get. Some companies have showcased 4tb micro SD cards and you can buy a 2tb one right now.
