Im holding out for what Opticom will come out with. They have been developing this for the last 6-7 years and is close to a product that can be released. With Intel involved into this - who can say what its going to end up as...
A quote from their page: The equivalent of 400,000 CDs, or 60,000 DVDs, or 126 years of MPG music may be stored on a polymer memory chip the size of a credit card.
Thats a completely organic, non-volatile, fast, solid-state, scaleable and CHEAP memory. If that amount can fit on a credit-card, its not a long leap to imagine haveing your own personal mirror of the entire internet in a cigatette-size box!

No - I dont think "geek" are more probe to violence than other people that play games on computers. <br> <br>But Quake changed the world... The first <i>real</i> fully 3D FPS game. I remember walking up to a piece of armour for the first time and just look at it rotate... It was a real, 3D object! Not just some static bitmap! This was what all the FPS games afterwards got measured up against. <br> <br> I have a really hard time imagining "The Sims" making that kind of an impact.
