History of computer memory in pictures…

Royal Pingdom has a nice pictorial history of computer memory up on their blog.  While it is in no way complete, I love pictures like the one above showing women in their 2001 Space Odyssey outfits running server rooms.

    Fascinating! :)

    Is it me or does all that stuff seem more “futuristic” than what we have nowadays?

    I worked with some of those. Magnetic tapes required an operator to mount them. So we had to call them by phone in advance.
    5 1/4 floppys were so expensive I had to save some money to buy a pack of 10.
    Good times though.

    i had heard some information about computer memory from my friend, he had complete his diploma in computer application, so i also have some information about computer memory, giving an example : “he said that if you store your important data in your computer than your computer will get that data as its own. so if you store your data than you can feel free from your data.”
