There are also electronics devices that they don’t have storage of any type like a remote control. But also there are electronics devices that they have temporary storage.

With the years the memory was getting down the price. In 1956 1 GB cost 8,2 millions dollars, in 1980 cost 184 thousand dollars, in 1990 cost 5.200 dollars, in 2000 cost 12 dollars and in 2006 were 1,2 dollars.
