We have forgotten:

torsion wire delay-line memory

delay-line memory tube

mercury delay-line memory drum of UNIVAC 1

The idea of using a cave to store memories for a bit by yelling into it so the idea echoes back later, is a beautiful dwarven fantasy solution that I don't think could have even been imagined today. Nerds just no longer spend their formative years exploring the real world

We are lost in the deeps, crafting a new world, completely enchanted by the demon we awakened in the delving.

I watched a whole video on someone storing data as in-flight ping packets to the highest latency servers they could find. I don't think we're lacking in creativity at least.

That's really cool. That was the 90s wasn't it? I think I remember reading something about that in 2600. Cool though it may be, it's just the same delay-line memory, but using the Internet as a medium rather than a drum of mercury. Which echoes what I was saying. I agree with you that creativity is not lacking now. I was just musing on how it's mostly mapped off the map now rather than the territory.
