Printing and publishing was where storage took Moores law and ran with it. Tape drives became removable cartridge systems from Bernoulli and SyQuest which then begat the ubiquitous Zip drives and later the problematic Jaz drives, and ultimately fast internet rendered all of it obsolete, and everyone just sends data through packets. To India and other places where labor is cheaper.
Technology!
