Protein Memory?
"Analysts at market research firm iSuppli got together for a brainstorming meeting on what could be hot new technologies and have come up with a set of absolute corkers. One of the more interesting idea includes optical 3D protein memory. This is a volumetric type memory which is three dimensional and could give as much as 1000-fold increase in storage capacity compared to current technology, according to senior analyst Bill Bernard."
This is totally from left field, but I'm hopeful to see new memory technologies evolve.

GROAN. :roll: :lol:
This is the kind of blue sky research we want to see. And as a bonus you can snack on it if you are hungry! :lol:

Nice one. You could load a lump of protein full of Simpsons episodes and then try how it tastes.

Shame on all of you nay-sayers. It's that kind of talk that almost derailed the innovation behind the potato clock.
No wait... that was carbs. :roll:

I'd like to see hard drive technology change in a big way. They've only been around for the last 20 years. I'd be happy with something that was 2x as fast as anything else.... I don't need 4-fold...

Want to know what the next generation of storage is going to be? Stacked/3D polymer memory, check out www.thinfilm.se - got plenty of funding from Intel :wink: Density allows 60,000 DVDs on a credit card sized memory. (No, I don't work for them, just in the general field 8) )
