I remember when standard storage was on floppy disks, and 10MB HDDs were huge. MS also decided about that time that 640KB of memory was more than anyone would ever need, so that became the standard. Things aren't the way they used to be, and they never were. I suspect that something will replace the HDD eventually, but I'm not prepared to say what it will be. Probably something we haven't even thought of yet.

If HDD becomes obsolete, many workers in factories will be laid off.

Or maybe they will be retrained to make SDDs instead and keep their jobs.

multimedia work maybe 1 month
for data base or spread sheet work maybe 6 months
computer programming work maybe 1 year
swap space could kill it in a week
it's what the applications are doing that accounts for 95% of the read write cycles less than 5% are the user saving to long term storage

You should update your views on SSDs.
