Today marks the 51st anniversary of the invention of the computer hard drive. The unit weighed about a ton and was the size of two refrigerators. Its 50 spinning iron oxide discs--each one about 24 inches in diameter--held a whopping five megabytes of memory.
Coincidentally, tomorrow will be the 51st anniversary of the very first iPod Nano, which was roughly the size of Finland.
