'Move Over Data Centers, Megapods Are Coming'

... ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer). Built in the 1940s, this first-generation machine used thousands of glowing vacuum tubes instead of modern microchips, taking up 1,800 square feet of floor space and weighing about 30 tons. Cell phones and other devices now generate two and a half quintillion bites of data every day ...

... Modern mobile phones currently hold up to 1TB–2TB of local data. Trillions of bits of capacity are achieved through aggressive hardware minimization, utilizing 3D NAND flash memory and advanced photolithography to pack billions of microscopic transistors into a chip smaller than a postage stamp ...
