Recent technology development at North Carolina State Univeristy (NCSU) could change the memory chip market completely, after the insitution's engineers developed a memory chip capable of storing 50 times more data than current DRAM chips.
A thereotical prototype of five years research, the chip is smaller than the average fingernail and stores 1TB (Terabyte) of data. The method used to achieve this design, involved adding impurities to alter the chip's data storage capacity. Researchers added nickel to magnesium oxide, mixing the metal and ceramic, while time was spent carefully aligning nano dots.
The memory chip could hit stores within the next two years, costing just a little more than curent chips.

I'm excited about what it could mean for video cameras! You'd be able to shoot for hours on end in HD with that!

Even if people had 1TB in their pockets they would still complain about lack of memory...

Seriously... that is almost unfathomable.
You could store every song ever on your Ipod.
What do you even do with that much capacity?

Well, for one you could store every song on your ipod in a quality better than mp3. . . Look at the size of an average web page and all its content today, and then compare it to one from '99. . . Believe me, we will grow into it :)
