In the era of big hard drives and fat pipes, people forget that 6 megabytes is a lot of raw data if it's not packed with unnecessary GUI elements, high-res video, and inefficient code.



On the other hand, 6MB is the typical file size for the jpg-compressed images taken by my 20MP smartphone camera.

That's pretty much packed with a lot of useless information, considering the average usage of uploading the picture to Facebook. :P
