Captain Caveman’s USB-stick
Couple of days ago, IBM announced that it could store 1bit of information on 12 atoms.
Just to prove from how far we came.  Lindsey Turrentine (@lturrentine), editor-in-chief of CNET reviews posted this picture on twitter.  The device dates back to 1954 and is a 4kb IBM-memory.
