I'm waiting for 'holographic internet' ;?

 

[Shane]

Quite impressive

 

[INTELCRAZY]

I am not meaning to disagree, I am not impressed. It is just increased density of the data, that happened with Dual Layer DVD's.

 

[Red Naxelaster]

Yeah, but it's apparently so much faster as well as being able to fit massive amounts of data

 

[ducis]

I saw that in maximum PC

When I see them in the form of cubes like the ones in the mini series "2057' on the Discovery Science Channel then I'll be impressed, but it is a big step towards something like that.

Ha, I saw that episode, that was just a mini map engraved into the cube (right?). A disk is a much better medium because they fit nice and easily, not like a huge cube.

 

[DrCuddles]

Like all new technologies, itlll come out big and get smalller and smaller. probable even like the fake plastic cube in that episode

Take floppy discs for example, i think i dont need to explain that one
