Huge storage effect on the industry
Ofcourse by now most of you heard the news Hitachi Announces there World's First Terabyte Hard Drive Terabye = 1,000 gigabytes can you imagine I don't think we will need to archive and store our old data on outer storages again.
I think this new technology will have effect on many things as the new HD should be available on the first half of 2007 I think OS's IA's should begin working on more efficient finder's or explorer's like systems so it could handle all this information capacity without having the user searching for a file for hours.
And there is also an expected effect on the web as you may guess the need of really faster internet connection will increase as users now has the ability to download big files or videos without bothering with the space, and the good news for our community, the hosting prices will extremely decrease.
All those are expectations I don't know for real, what do you expect?

This is what Desktop Search do (using indexing) .. There are plenty of these applications from different vendors including Google (Google Desktop) and Microsoft.

Hosting prices were always about hardware (Processor+RAM) and Bandwidth/Traffic. Storage is not the main player.
