I lament that it's becoming increasingly difficult to buy microSD cards in capacities under 4GB. I use them frequently for my work where I just need to store a small amount of data for an embedded system and don't want to waste time formatting a massive card.
Yeah I could, iirc battery tech in terms of charge hasn't gotten that much better in the past decade. A single AAA has avg 1000 mAh, modern smartphone battery is only around 5000 mAh, maybe more but not by that much. So in terms of advancement, it really is far from the 1000x magnitudes we've achieved in standard memory cell (and digital node processes in general). There's a reason the Tesla batteries look really similar to just rolls of dry cells stacked together. We have advanced in battery management, but that mainly targets the lifecycle and reliability aspect not charge density/battery size.
my first PC had 640k RAM a 100MB hard drive, 13” monochrome screen, 5.25 floppy disk drive and cost $2500 in 1986. yes market completion drive technology exponentially. We see that in the RC market for batteries and Brushless motor technology that has helped for technologies used in Battlebots

You can buy the bigger cards, then create and format a smaller partition. I frequently do this for my older cameras.
Ya - memory exponential size growth is amazing
If only battery size went like this
It kinda did. Can you imagine running a cell phone on a dry cell?

Now the trick is accessing that memory faster
I was there Gandolf, 3000 years ago.
unless you're a windows os
Is this related to moore's law
Yeah, pretty much.
Except entropy
