RE: Taking A Giant Leap Into The Future Of Data Storage Technology: Understanding The Basic Principles And Ideas Of Holographic Data Storage
Very interesting. Do you have an idea of any breakthroughs required to make this cheaper/more available?
With my present knowledge I'm afraid not. The technology is still in it's experimental stage and is still being heavily scrutinized for loopholes and other characteristics which would make it unapplicable, and the full extent of it's practicality in the real world is still yet to be realized, as several factors and reasons tend to currently prove that we could be years away from fully utilizing any major aspect of the technology. Surely in the near future we could see a reduction in the price tag thus making it readily available and easily purchasable, because personally, I do not see the human race still using hard drives and tapes in the next 100 years to come. So indeed there is hope :)
Thanks for the info @blessing97, in that case I'll be hoping the law of accelerating returns increases the pace of this technology :)
It sure will :)
