Every once in a while it looks like Moore’s Law is about to hit a brick wall, and every time, new advances come along to keep it alive and well. IBM just announced two great research breakthroughs that promise to increase both data storage density and transistor density by orders of magnitude!
This means that you could soon have the kind of computing power in your watch that used to be Supercomputer territory, and that you will be able to buy USB storage keys with 1TB capacity! Just imagine what this could do to the world of digital cameras!
And energy saved! Changing/Charging batteries will soon be a thing of the past.
You’ll run devices on super-small super-light batteries that will outlast 10x+ the lifetime of the device.
