I think that was Bill Gates in 1981 or so commenting on the PC having

My current desktop has 1GB of main memory. I got into this Internet
stuff in 1988 with netcom.com in California. I was alpha@xxxxxxxxxx, one
of the first 100 or so subscribers. Our netcom.com was a Sun workstation
with a 56Kbps link to sun.com just across the street in Silicon Valley.
Disk drives of the day were Seagate SCSI of less than 100 MB capacity.
To have a Gigabyte of disk storage on your Internet server was an
impossible dream. Today we can buy 200GB drive for $95.
Everybody predicting a limited future always catches it in the neck.
but how all that space is used?
is it used well?
