Introduction
Welcome, this section will contain objects of the future. This means that products / services will be described that should become "HOT" in the future.
The following products are currently in beta version or have just launched and will be discussed:
- The Holo disk
- Windows Live / Live operating systems
- Sun's "public computing grid" service
- Fuel Cell
- Flexible screens
- O-led
The Holo disk
The holographic disk is a compact disk that can contain way more data than is possible on currently available cd and dvd disks. It can be written at a transfer speed of 1 Gbit a second, offers currently 300 gigabyte storage space and will offer more than one terabyte of data storage (around 2 terabyte).
The holographic disk is a disk that stores data in 3 dimensions in stead of on one horizontal plane. Holographic recording technology records data on discs in the form of laser interference fringes. This approach is rapidly gaining attention and will become the next high-capacity, high-speed data storage technology for the upcomming decennia.
Because of its 3d storage searching speed even increases to 32Gbytes/s which cannot be matched or copied by upgrading any of the existing storage possibilities.
In my view the size and speed of this new data storage medium combined with its searchability makes it the ideal candidate for the future where finding the appropreate data is even more important than storing it.

Just for fun you can read this article, maybe star treks warp engine will become a reality:
