The Race...
There is always a race to get ahead of what you have. But no matter how much you progress or upgrade yourself there is always a long way to go and you find yourself much far behind.
I am trying to get at higher bandwidth for my internet. I started with a dial up connection with a connection speed of 14 kbps and today i want at least 2 MBPs to download all the movies in the DivX format from the torrent sites. Now i have a 256 kbps which takes on an average of 12-24 hrs to download a 700 MB movie. I was still sulking at the ISPs for not providing me that much bandwidth, i read an blog article which says HD Movies are released on torrents which are on an average 19 GBs per movie. huh...
I got a 2 MP digital camera which became obsolete in an year. Then i went for a 4 MP upgraded model and people were already talking about a 8 MP and even a 13.2 MP. The 2 MP digiCam used to create a file of 2 MB size photo, the 4 MP creates around 3 MB file. Now i have almost around 20 GB of snaps and have created backups for them.
And just where am i going to store all that.. i started with a 640 MB hard disk on my P1 (100 MHz) and today i ran out of my 150 GB external HDD (+ 100 GB laptop HDD + 150 GB PC HDD).
