Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

It starts out as $1.99 but everyone forgets that as life goes on they take more pictures and videos and have to keep upgrading cloud sevices to keep their memories intact.

    Google provides a feature to compress the photos, it's reeeally difficult to see a difference from the original. That saves a lot of space. It's a good practice to delete blurry/repetitive pictures. With that, 100 GBs can last a long time.

    It's a bigger problem with videos where higher bitrate/resolution make a difference and they consume a lot of storage.
