Someone do one for the average physical size taken up by 1 GB.

When I was a kid we had a 500 MB drive that was the size of a brick and now we have microsd cards that are 1TB. Pretty wild.

The spec exists for a 128TB SDUC card.
There probably doesn't exists one yet, or maybe only in a lab somewhere and probably costs more than my car.
Still, today's storage density is kinda nuts.
Within my lifetime, we've went from 1.5MB being high-density portable storage, now you can have a 2TB thumb drive in your pocket.
