50 Years of Hard Drive
Okay, I'm truly late with this. The 50th Birthday of the Hard Drive was 3 Years ago. As Wikipedia says, the Hard Drive was invented by an IBM Team in 1956. Recently i stumbled upon a nice Video on YouTube made by Hitachi to cherish this event. It's called "Life Without The Hard Drive" and features besides some nice music interesting and funny visualisations of how retrieval would be without hard drives.
Instead of the World Wide Web, there would be a World Wide Warehouse, where all the information of the world is stored. You'd have to type your search with an old-fashioned typewriter, and the browser would be a guy on a bicycle trying to retrieve an answer.
Well, see what happens ...

Maybe I will use this in one of my next talks. This video is one of a series of videos made by hitachi to promote hard drives and the underlying technology. Be sure not to miss "The Dawn Of The Tera Era", "Licence To Read" and the fantastic "Get Perpendicular".
