MEMORY & STORAGE There will be 1 TB memory chips, ten times smaller than the ones that exist right now. Larger capacity recording faster than 1Gb/s Hard x-ray holography Memory with access time of 1ns 100GB non volatile erasable RAM in few cm square Molecular memory with density of 1 TB/sq cm Retrieval from 1TB database within 10 seconds Optical storage media will be static, e.g. optical card Single storage medium usable for all forms of data Memory/storage density still a bottleneck for some applications Photochemical hole burning memory at 100GB per sq cm
