When the day came that we could store an entire library on a little disk, magic became a reality, I mean think about it for a second. We’re all storing enough information to fill an entire building, but it’s all crammed inside a little silver box, which we know as a hard drive — it’s incredible. This is an awesome infographic that shows us how data storage evolved from 1980 to the present day.

Designed for streaming content to iOS and Android devices, the Pogoplug Mobile is a server with unlimited storage. How exactly does it work? And more importantly, how well does it work?

Sure, we have seen crazy RC powered “stuff”, I mean all kinds of stuff, but this one is very special. It takes the body of a modern RC car and mounts a steam engine inside complete with burners, a rad suspension system and a cuddly driver. This thing is awesome, and if you pause the video at certain points, it looks as if it could be 20 feet tall!
