nursers Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 There's no doubt DVD will become obsolete, but I think physical media in some form is here to stay for a LONG time. People like the tactile sensation of being able to hold the product. If that weren't the case, e-books woulda taken off many years ago.

Gates is basically saying that any removeable media will be obsolete, and I disagree entirely. These are the times that I wish someone would slap Bill Gates. I won't go into a rant on this topic. Let's just say that there are tremendous convenience and security factors here. - JeffYou are so right, I didn't have time to type everything. Ever had your cursor automatically go to "MY COMPUTER" and open it? Clonked my head pretty good diving for the modem on/off switch. I don't think they got much, I hope. Kcbass P.S.

Touchwood Studios Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I still think computer technology is the biggest consumer rip off ever. Can you imagine going into car dealership and buying a car - then the sales person tells you hey dude you need and engine and tire upgrade if you want to drive in on a freeway. That model only works on city streets without the upgrade. Or the top of the line model will cost you have as much in 6 months. Technology upgrades will never end period.

There might be some intellectual argument against it, but the first time a consumer buys this device (It could even be 5.25" round), inserts it into his/her player, and music comes out, their objection will be gone.

Groovepusher Sly Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 DVD's will be obsolete pretty soon, but I think they will last for awhile in much the same capacity as CD-R's do now. I mentioned here before, a PBS show where they had a clear plastic cube that stored digital data, and was read by lasers. I've been looking for some info and just found it here, Stanford team builds first digital holographic video/data storage system. "Their lab-bench demonstration shows that it would be possible to store an hour of video images in a cubic centimeter of crystal, using current technology." So a cubic inch would be about 2-1/2 hrs. This article is from 1994. 10 years ago. Doesn't seem like it was that long. The latest info I can find puts the storage capacity at around 100 GB on a single digital holographic storage disk, Tapestry , and even that article is from 2002! So, I think we will still need, and have, some form of removeable media, I just think the capacities will continue to increase, and the size will continue to shrink. Imagine being able to put 12, 100 GB disks of mp3's in your car, you might never come back home. Sly Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky!

Mats Olsson. Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I have a 2GB flash card that is little larger than a bass guitar pick... a 12 GB card is available. With current technology, the possibilities are almost infinite. http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!
