Interesting Statistic and Impact

At a recent presentation, the speaker brought up the dramatic drop in the cost of storage. In 1988, a gigabyte of storage cost around $10,000 while today that same storage runs about 0.54 cents. This simple statistic reiterates that we are in an environment that is under constant pressure to change. Technology is getting faster, cheaper and more ubiquitous every day. It is easy to get lost in the day to day activities, announcements, mergers and forget that we are in one of the most chaotic times in history where entire business models are being turned on a dime. Not to mention, industries and professions that are changing right before our eyes. Take a look at Guy Kawasakis Book, Rules for Revolutionaries, on page 71 which takes us up to the year 2000.
