I have a problem using the ipad to represent storage capacity
The Ipad uses many different parts besides memory storage
The flash memory is just ONE of the 2 toshiba chips on this board that represents a section of the entire device
Not only that but memory is still getting smaller and more compact every year.

He is talking about memory while the topic is storage. But you just made him look smarter. Well played.Areyouretarded? iPads are not storage devices even though they HAVE storage.

The whole stack thing is pretty pointless, since the actual focus of the infographic seems to be the ever-increasing amount of "content" (doesn't that word feel dirty the way they use it?) users are generating for the cloud owners, and not the physical storage media itself.I have a problem using the ipad to represent storage capacity

what the fuck do you think the ipad uses to store information? flash memory.
Storage capacity 16, 32, 64, or 128 GB flash memory

The modules measure a scant 17 x 22 x 1.4 mm
When your data's in the cloud, is it still your data?

That infographic seems legit. It seems to be implying that cloud servers are just hundreds of ipads stacked on each other. Also, storage costs are $500 for 16GB, yup.

It's irrelevant, the infographic uses the iPad stack height as filler, but that's it. The rest of the graphic is about responsibility for storing the user-generated content and never mentions how much (physical) space would be needed. It's not germane to their thesis.
(why is the head real?)
According to their thesis (really, infographics constitute a thesis nowadays?), they would need 2 and half elephants to store 1TB of data. Not a 2.5" hdd. 2.5 Elephants.

They are just trying to put it in a form that people understand. Lots of folks who don't have much of an idea about storage form factors (and really, 3.5" and 2.5" drives have so many different capacities that using them for a reference point would be meaningless even to people who do), so they use an iPad instead.
