An article on Pocket-Lint that quotes Western Digital's Jim Welsh claiming that by 2014, "every" household will have at least 1TB's worth of digital content, got me thinking. That's a pretty high number -- 1,000 GB's -- 100,000 MB's. You get the picture. That's huge. Now you have to take into consideration the millions of older and senior Americans who hate things even as simple as a TV, radio, or microwave. These people surely won't be spending much time on a computer. 2014 is only a little over 3 years away. That's not very long for Grandma to start torrenting Family Guy episodes and downloading discography after discography.
I'd say 2025 is a more believable estimate. What do you guys think?
