_Ray Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 So. Over the years, we've gotten farther, and farther up in technology. CD, DVD, (and though about the same time) HD-DVD, and now Blu-Ray. So, what do you think the next technology will be? Explain what you think it should be, how it works, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Well, given the impending USB 3.0, I think we'll be buying read - only USB flash drives with games on them before long. Works on the same principle as a DVD usually does, you need it in to play, etc, installs game files on your PC. For Large memory, we'll all be using solid state in about 12 months.

_Ray Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think that we should invent computers that run off Base 3. It would make 50 TB of Base 2 data fit on 100GB of Base 3 Data. Also, analog, I believe is the way to go for Video Storage. Like a record. It could hold way more HD Data, but we gotta learn to make them more accurate, and figure out how to somhow put Video On them. It could be like a Base-500 Video Record....

That's a great idea, I thought that too, but BD Discs at the moment are WAY cheaper than solid-state drives, flash drives etc. per unit of capacity.

MrLlamaLlama Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yeah, but... bluray isn't a practical way to store files on a PC, you can't put discs into your PC to get files, that's just counter-productive. About a year ago, bluray drives were around 600 England Money (My keyboard is fucked, won't do pound signs), now there 40, if that. SSD will go the same way, almost guaranteed.

macorules94 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I heard somewhere that Sony are making a 200GB Blu-Ray disc.... But I got no proof, It's just what I heard. I think from GTAForums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) OLED TV's are also getting nearer and they look awesomez. Maco, I know Pioneer are coming out with a 500GB BD disc but lol? Edited January 31, 2009 by GTA Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from GTAForums. I call bullshit. And our storage is getting higher, and our physical space is getting smaller.... Disks aren't as reliable as small drives. I've heard that shortly we're going to have cell phones with intense amounts of GIGS of storage. Of course, no source. But write-protected encrypted thumbdrives is the way to go for licensed media. Definitely. Besides, we DON'T NEED MORE DISKS. ENOUGH WITH DISKS. WE'RE PAST THAT. And even if we were getting more disks, we don't need them yet. We didn't need Bluray yet. We still don't.

I guess the leading tech firms might get sick and tired of spinning platters in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Though Micro SD Cards can only hold like 8GB right now, I heard that possibly within the next decade those will be up in the hundreds of gigabytes range. But then what do we do? The theoretical limit for one of those is one terabyte. So what would happen after we get technology as high as it can do in a hundred years or so....

When there's a will, there is a way... That's why it is possible to make a CPU over 9000 times faster than 33Mhz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 There's a CPU that can run over 297,000MHz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, what I mean is, as long as the developers and researchers are determined to squeeze a lot of horsepower in a processor, such fast processing speeds are possible.

WRX22B1998 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 hmm maybe those hologram discs... but yeah i guess discs are good but, just imagine, one scratch could wreck a few gb's of data. with flash memory (solid state drives etc) they are very fast and reliable.

And we're getting there, the RoadRunner runs at over 1.2 PLOPS (1200 Quadrillion FLOPS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
