Well.... Storage media are getting cheaper and bigger every year... I saw a 5TB HDD with external housing for $250 this weekend at a store.
The technology will also improve over time, and bigger drives will become the norm. When I started in computers.... we used no harddrives.... everything was run in RAM. {We used huge magnetic tapes to transfer information in chunks into RAM memory} My first computer {if you can call it that} was a ZX Spectrum 48k .... We used audio tape deck players to play analog sound, which was converted to digital and then stored in RAM. {48k... not even 1 MB}
My first personal computer had a 10MB harddrive {In those times, it was HUGE] So the technology keeps up with the need and demand.
{Now some jpeg or pdf files are bigger than that}
