In my inbox from Tiger Direct: Deal Alert: Seagate 1.5tb Hard Drive $119. According to this, the library of congress has about 100 terabytes of data. So with this new Seagate drive, you could store the entire library on 67 of them, at a cost of about $8000. That's just amazing.
What's even more sobering is that the rate of storage increase is expected to increase even further.
I predict that, within my lifetime, unless 'the whole thing' goes belly-up, pretty much the whole world will be continuously digitized and stored forever. The future Google street view will be high resolution, current, and have full history and time scale. One way to find out exactly where you are would be to take a picture and submit it to a search engine. It will compare what's in your picture with its archive of all things video and tell you where you are to within inches.
We are rapidly getting very comfortable with an abject lack of privacy. Most of us carry cell phones around. Any of those people can be located, most of the time, by the cell carrier. Our ancesters would have been utterly horrified by that.
Most of us will, in not too many years, be happily living completely transparent lives. The implications of that future are unclear at best.
