Scientists this week published an article about technology that could possibly fit thousands of terabytes of information on a single drive. The idea is that they basically used the position of atoms to store data. This is very new technology that is a long way away from being sold to people, but it points to a future where you could potentially store more data on a single device than you would ever need in an entire life time. Of course, we have access to that through the Internet, but a lot is still locked away behind paywalls and the Internet is still not everywhere. Breakthroughs like this could put a library of knowledge in your hand where ever you go. What it means to learn has also been evolving along these lines for a while now as memorizing facts becomes less important when you can easily look them up. More details in the video above.
