Example:

Because all that progress has been made in baby steps. All science progress is 99% incremental-a – a tweak in design here, a bump in power there, a goose to speed over here, all occasionally given a huge, mind-bending boost by a theory of evolution, the unraveling of DNA, or the invention of the laser. The big developments might pull in the headlines like a black hole, but it's the constant small, day-to-day improvements that have the most immediate impact on what we do. In this chapter we'll look at some less-than-monumental ways in which computer storage-always – always the laggard in computing speed-has – has constantly improved by tids and bits.
