The power efficiency of computing has improved by a factor of a billion from the ENIAC computer of the 1950s to today's handheld devices.

That says to me that the age of computing really hasn't even begun yet.

Tape with LTFS has several advantages over the other external storage devices it would typically be compared to.

That means many data centers could fit their entire data set into a small FedEx box. With LTFS the sending and receiving data centers no longer need to be running the same application to access the data on the tape.
