In the next 10 years the majority of people in first world countries will have most of their music, movies, TV shows, games, home video, and more all saved to hard drives. I have a 250GB in my PS3 right now and I only have 57GB left. My parents have a 320GB drive in their PS3 and right now they only have 31GB left in theirs. I know this is just my family, but my parents only 3 years ago would not touch the internet. Now they only have an SDTV, and they don't really care about Blu-ray all that much. However they have been downloading movies like crazzy off of PSN, and my dad has put all of their CD's, and pictures on the PS3. |
I'd say the average consumer wouldn't have 1 TB of movies, music, games, shows, and movies on their computer.
I have a hard time filling up a 100 gig harddrive on my comp (but i do have a 500 gig external drive filled with like 30000 songs). I don't think digital distribution is going to be that huge when most people still think DVD and SDTV's are perfectly fine, I don't have a single minute of video on my comp, it's all on DVD's and will probably stay there. I think hard copies are going to be the norm for many years to come, there is just something better about owning an actual thing rather than data on a hard drive, plus if your drive gets corrupted, there goes everything.
I can see games within the next 10 years take up 50 gigs + each on a computer, so If you are a hardcore PC gamer it would probably help to have one, other than that I think it will be unnecesarry.
