I’m from Tennessee, the Volunteer state, and I volunteer we use migrants as hard drives. Kidding, I’m not going to chase after them every time I need a file.

Did you watch your own post? He does not come to that conclusion.

The real question is how much of your personal data do you want the govt to be able to store

The universe uses massless photon storage, which is amazingly good. Family photos of stars are reliably stored for billions of years.

No, the real question is how will I find that single atom, when I already have a rip of a time locating all my thumb drives??

Will the atom be USB 2/3 or USB C?
I need to think about adaptors.

If it gets small enough, I’m uncertain what the limit is.
I’ll have to ask Heisenberg.

Everyone should read “MS Fnd in a Lbry”, a 1961 short story by Hal Draper. In the story, all of human civilization’s knowledge can be stored in a single drawer, although the indexing takes up entire solar systems. The end is predictable.
Funny story. It’s available on pdf from several sites.

I can’t find half my data already. I’m certain to never find it hiding in an atom.
