I’m old enough to remember your typical computer filling warehouse-sized buildings.
Nowadays, your average cellphone has more computing power than those behemoths.
I have a micro SD card with 256GB capacity, and I think they are up to 2TB. On a device the size of a fingernail.
That is all definitely amazing, but data storage is a fundamentally different process with far fewer constraints than continuous computation.
It all uses the same miniaturization techniques, though.
