Half of my collection "The Storage Media Boneyard" A History of Analog and Digital Storage Media This is a sampling of the thousands of types of media that humans have used to store information over the past several hundred years. From punch cards that stored a few dozen bytes to flash drives that store tens of billions of bytes, storage media have gotten smaller, lighter, cheaper, and faster to read and to write. The majority of this collection consists of paper, tape, spinning disks, solid state (cartridge), and film storage media, but you can find a few more unusual media types, such as wax cylinders, recording wire, and ferrite core memory. Today, the entire contents of this exhibit could fit onto a single hard drive that you could buy at the average computer store. Formerly part of the Google Chicago museum
