Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

The future of Storage Technology (and advertising for that matter) is upon us. No longer is holography simply for messages from R2 models to ObiWan (crackle, Luke , youre my only hope . . . . sorry got carried away again.) Holographic storage is on the verge of blowing away traditional thinking about technology. Standard magnetic and or optical storage is the old way of doing things. IBM recently announced a hard drive that can contain 35.3 million bits ber square inch (and soon will announce a 2TB drive the size of a golf ball), that is very impressive, but it still pales in comparison to the potential of holograms, yeah holograms.Disk storage space and memory will be replaced by little 3d pictures? Well, it is a little more complicated than that, but not to hard to grasp. Holographic storage uses laser technology (light) to store the binary data in three dimensions. Not in sequential tracks like traditional disks. This potentially not only means amazing capacity, it also means blazing speed and multiple-simultaneous read-writes. The verge indeed.
