The comic highlights how dramatically data storage and workflows have evolved for photographers:

In 2005:

Photographers used two 500 GB hard drives. The setup looks old-fashioned: a bulky CRT monitor and a single screen. The photographer appears frustrated, likely due to limited storage, slower systems, and heavier file management.

In 2025:

A single 20 TB drive replaces multiple smaller ones. The workspace includes dual modern monitors, reflecting a more advanced editing workflow. The photographer seems more relaxed or engaged, possibly due to better performance, faster access, and streamlined file management.

The overall message: while file sizes have grown, so have storage capacities and efficiencies, making modern photography workflows smoother despite the data explosion.
