Science-type things
A team being headed up by researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) is developing quantum memory that stores information in the form of light.

one starts to think where we will be in 50 years from now
my guess is the next step to technology will be organic
i can imagine my grand kids boasting about having a 1TB crystal
