I do think storage as we see it will change tremendously. I don't think devices will come with much (expandable) space on them in the future, and there won't really be a need to.apple has already done away with expandable storage on their devices. Things may come with like 500gb or 1tb in an embedded flash chip like you said, but with internet speed increasing continually and quickly, everything soon will be cloud storage since it'll be cheaper for Amazon or Google or Microsoft to hold all the data and stream it back and forth whenever it is needed. If the internet is fast enough, there is really no need to for a huge amount of local storage .... We arent there yet.... But probably eventually!


For example, your phone camera could take a picture hold it in ram until it gets it uploaded and verified it's uploaded then flush from ram. No real need for local storage there. Or for example, playing a videogame, while walking around it could just be loading the world around you in real-time if the internet is fast enough. Which it is very close to right now...



The only people who will need local storage is businesses or individuals who want it for "privacy" .... But even that, could not be the case... Most businesses are already in or headed to something like AWS or azure and not having their own storage anyway.

I guess cloud storage is alright but I keep things like family photos and videos stored on external drives and several PC's at home. My son told me that if your info isn't backed up in at least 3 different places, it isn't backed up.
