This is where the next tech battle will be fought

A lot of people talk about AI, and rightly so, I get it, but there's another tech problem, a tech battle if you will, that's not gonna have to be fought.


As I'm writing, I have about 30 tabs open across two browser, and all of these tabs are using up RAM power.


Earlier today, I was trying to create a video but I have an iPhone, and iPhone, if you're also using iCloud, uploads the full HD version of your pictures and videos on iCloud and keeps the low-res version on your phone.


Ordinarily, you can easily download content from iCloud in live time, but sometimes there are bugs.


I have 128 GB of storage but 2 TB in iCloud, and it's filling up quickly.


The first camera phones we had took pictures that were a few KB. Now, some pictures can occupy up to tens of MB of space.


It's never enough, and it's getting worse.


When I was growing up, 500 GB of memory was overkill. Today, that's nothing. And this is just for everyday stuff. Because imagine how much computing power is needed to run AI.


This will create a snowball effect, because computing power means more stuff is needed. More hardware, more batteries, more servers.


It's like inflation, it'll never get smaller. It'll always be more. Never less.
