Quoth the Guru Ken Thomson,

"The steady state for disks is full."

The two questions which lend themselves as a natural follow-up are:

• How much free disk space is left?

• Did you ever bother to clean up your disk, or did you just buy a new one?

In a professional setting, it's cheaper to buy larger disks than to spend labour on cleaning up existing storage. How long until we drown in the data flood? Quick, man the lifeboats!
