You just reminded me of when I bought my first PC in 1990 and one of my former professors, on learning I had bought it with a 200MB hard drive declared that I was crazy to buy such a large hard drive because I would never fill it up.¹
One of my more embarrassing memories (technical ones, anyway) was having an argument with a couple of friends in college in 1988/89. I felt that sure, an internal hard drive is a nice feature, but swapping floppies wasn't all that terrible.
You could have made a significant amount of money betting against my technical predictions over the last few decades.
