... My other hope is that we get quantum, PB sized storage devices that can fit in our phone. I can't ever remember anyone on Star Trek running out of storage space on their drives. I look forward to the day in my life when that won't happen to me...
Steve,
I'm curious about how you would use that PB of storage on your phone. I'm not sure if using our phones to archive every photo album, email, and download is a good idea. If someone steals my phone, I'd like them to be limited to only the last few weeks worth of cached data. Apple and Microsoft cloud storage is fairly inexpensive with virtually no limit on scalability, and I assume we're all backing up to the cloud anyhow.
For me, having pictures and video of life are what I want. Is this a potential issue? Sure. I'm hoping security keeps getting better. I have remote wipe available, so I can do that if I know the phone is gone. I don't consider most pictures to be security issues, at least, not how I use my phone.
I'm often without connectivity in places. So I'd like to have stuff available at times, but more importantly, not have issues recording new stuff.
