Massive increase in memory card capacities soon?

Researchers have developed cheap, low power technology flash memory that could, within a few years, mean we have USB sticks containing a terabyte of data. Just imagine, your latest MP3/pocket video player could have 3000 films on it.

if you have that much vital data then yeah I would suggest buying two. or backing up to other storage. HD-DVD or Blue-Ray.

Damm rite I would cry, tech is moving soo fast my mom still uses floppy disks, which are becoming so hard to use as PC's stop coming with them standard. Whats after a terabyte anyway?

Re: Massive increase in memory card capacities soon?

a petabyte. then an exabyte, a zettabyte and a yottabyte. (and no, i didn't make that up although it does sound silly!)

as for floppy's, it's good to always have a USB floppy drive handy.
