Basically the title. The fact that we can read an encyclopedia entry on the economic history of the Netherlands from our phone is crazy. Scrolling over to a random island in the middle of the Atlantic to experience a virtual street tour is insane. There are even websites that let you see live security camera footage (shoutout to EarthCamTV). We have so much information that we take for granted.

    I couldn’t believe it. back when I first got it, maybe a decade ago, I think it was only around 45 or 50 GB.

    I was very confused, and figured okay, I’ll just download all of Wikipedia.

    and then I freaking had all of Wikipedia on my phone for years and it was amazing.

    every time there was a reference I didn’t get, every time there was anything I didn’t get, I pulled up Wikipedia and boom there it was.

    and I travel a lot, so I don’t always have data, but I had Wikipedia offline.

    it truly is amazing!

    this is really make me want to get an expandable storage phone again.
