I can still remember the first time I saw a 1 GB flash drive—it blew my mind. This device, the size of my thumb, could hold the information of 711 3.5-inch floppy disks. Manufacturers had become bona fide magicians, capable of shrinking data right before my eyes. But it’s a darn good thing that data …
I started my last company when I was still in college. It was 1996. My partner and I were building websites at a time when most businesses were just discovering the Internet. We were charging $65 an hour for our services. I remember sitting in class one day as the professor was going on about …
