Look at HDTV compared to the technology that will be here very soon. Storing and backing up thousands of (larger than) HD video files will mean that petabytes will not be an unnecessary luxury but a practical necessity within 5 years.

We are in the age of teraflops and petabytes, 10 years ago, we were in awe of megaflops and gigabytes, 10 years from now, peta will be the mega of our time. Information will become more robust, and data storage will become as second nature to us as oxygen, taken completely for granted.
