I'm not offcourse, but just following the trends and predicting what may come makes one a Guru. And this blog gives me the opportunity to do predictions I might refer to in 2028. Google and the low costs of storage are important too for my predictions. The word the last couple of years has been that storage doesn't costs must, so why save on it. 20 years ago it was important to be economical with starage up to a bit level. Savings on staorage was one of the reasons of the Y2K problem. But lately that didn't seem that so important anymore.
But 10 years ago money was abundend too. Even only a few years ago people didn't know what to do with their money and how to make money out of this money. So they went for all kinds of constructions in which they even lent money to make money. Food was cheap too and in some countries like Holland the farmers stopped making food, because it wasn't economical.
Now food prices are rising and farming might be interesting again.
Will that happen to storage too? Yes, but in analogy to the internet and standards development that followed the actual disks will be cheap, but the way the storage is managed in a standard way will be the added value and will have the costs.
So what am I saying ? Google will start charging for blogging or for reading the blog ? Let hope not. Otherwise in 20 years time you or I have to pay to check if I was right and who knows if we have money when that time comes ?
(Maybe it depends on the stockmarket casino. Just to spread my risks I think I have to start betting on the dogs too.)
