My whole computer only stores 600 GB. That's frickin' amazing! Imagine these things in mass production- think of how much bigger video games could be or how much longer movies could be. Think of how much bigger a hard drive would become if these become the new temporal storage medium! That's really something awesome, a really nice breakthrough.
These discs are becoming more and more fragile though... I'm so used to being able to throw around CDs and DVDs carelessly and they're fine. Frisby
Hmm.. When they say that technology is growing exponentially, they are really just referring to electronics and related fields

Aw, yes. Good times, good times! I remember the days of old when I would throw the disc frisby in the backyard. Always fun to microwave those things too!

Pretty amazing stuff.
Some quick facts:
- each disc can hold 500gb of data
- they expect these discs to hit the market around 2013
ok that's all the quick facts I could come up with lol.
While it currently looks like bluray will phase out dvds in the next few years, these holographic discs could phase out bluray much more quickly.
