Gizmodo has this well-crafted overview of the history of storage. We’ve come a long way, baby.
I highly recommend the no less than amazing site Lifehacker. It contains vast amounts of useful tips, in all shapes and sizes, and carries a name both beautiful and beautifully accurate. A (small) example:

That means the whole process of hunting down obscure error messages—especially those containing cryptic error codes—just got a whole lot easier. Thanks Matthew!“
