content: How many gigs can each hard drive hold?  Terabytes now. And a proper SQL database can even shorten that string of text up. All that is trivial now, which sounds like fucking magic to people who barely know how a simple light bulb works. (*an asside) The really crazy shit is how they analyze that mindbogglingly massive amount of information. The math behind big-data analysis can get fucking crazy, and the coding it takes to save micro-seconds per run was possibly the hardest class I took. Though that was mostly because that was the 2nd worst instructor I've had. (* Draw the unit circle for someone some time who doesn't "get math."  It's hilarious, because from their perspective it actually looks like an old-school wizard's magic diagram.)
