Your homework assignment is to calculate the cost-per-bit of storage in both of these items. Be sure to show your work and use exponential notation in your calculations. Use 1,024 instead of 1,000 for "K". Turn your work in by Friday.

Dog's name is Byte, correct?

It's a big dog, so, Megabyte.

Here's the numbers in megabytes and gigabytes.
Cost per megabyte (1024x1024) in dollars
----------------------------------------
Radio Shack (1990's) 166.33 $/megabtye
Modern SSD 4TB 0.00005770 $/megabtye
Cost per gigabyte (1024x1024x1024) in dollars
---------------------------------------------
Radio Shack (1990's) 170,325 $/gigabtye
Modern SSD 4TB 0.05908203 $/gigabtye
The SSD costs less than 6-cents per gigabyte while the Radio Shack disk (if it were extant at that time and priced to scale) costs $170,325 per gigabyte. I wish all other appliances could have costs reduced this much. But then again, I don't have the room to store all the stuff I would have bought if they were this cheap.
