Broken MicroSD card

I’ve put my phone’s 8GB MicroSD card in an adapter the wrong way, and this is what happened when I tried to pull it out:

Then I remembered how my father was excited they got a 40MB hard drive in the computer training center where he worked, 20 years ago. It was huge!

Two hundred times that in a plastic card smaller than my thumb nail? I admire who ever had the imagination to dream that.
