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.

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.

Hah! Whatever the size it will never be big enough for some. 
But then as is so often said size doesn't matter..it's what you do with it that counts.
