They've missed bits, what about the original 8" floppy disks, or hard drive's that weighed a ton or two yet only held a few mb of data (if that) & thats not getting into the realm of magnetic and punched tape / card

Magnetic core memory? Valves? Good attempt, but not nerdy enough.

im sure it doesnt make sense.

for example on the 8th row in the photos bit its giving equivalent storage capabilities of previous hardware.

how does the 2TB hard drive equate to 1422222 floppy discs but only 30909 smart media discs when the smart media only holds 22 photos but the floppy disc hold 50? (using the key at the bottom)

Where's the 360k 5.25 (180k each side) floppies - or the digital cassette or minidisk or Laser disk?

Jumping straight onto high density rather than double density 3.5 inch?

More missing links than Darwin's origin of the species :P
