CS_TBL raises an interest point in that mass storage (hard disks) are already larger in capacity than most people need. This however is based upon current technology and trends.
What if we start streaming television over the internet as a matter of course? There is a market for supply on demand television this we already know, what we lack is the infrastructure to deliver it and large hard disk capacities may well serve as the interim content tool along with something like iMovies or whatever the film equivellent of iTunes gets called.
Eventually we'll end up with streaming delivery - but only once internet connection speeds are sufficient to support it.
