Nowadays, with download-able everything, who needs movies on tape, music on disk, dusty photo albums or even books? The Daily Cents staff has done a little research on space-saving alternatives and here is what we have found:

Now: With a computer with 360 gigabytes of disk space ($1,200) -- you can store about 250,000 snapshots in 270 gigabytes of disk space – equal to 30 dual-layer DVDs or 1,200 picture albums, freeing up 240 feet of shelving.
A glimpse into the future: Digital cameras with wireless internet access for instant downloading and a built-in GPS that tags each picture’s date and location.

Now: A 160 GB iPod Classic ($349) can store 4,000 albums, freeing up 154 feet of shelving (or 22 CD towers).
A glimpse into the future: Artists cut out the middleman to sell fans downloads by subscription.

Now: With an Apple TV module ($329), you can store 100 DVD movies, freeing up 8 feet of shelving.
A glimpse into the future: The all-purpose set-top box that gives you broadcast TV and cable, internet video, movie downloads, and music. A contender, Sezmi, is expected by 2009.
