4.8 Future Developments in Processing & Storage


Description of Processing Technology
Nanotechnology -   Tiny machines work at a molecular level to make nanocircuits
Optical computing - Uses lasers and light, not electricity
DNA computing - Uses strands of synthetic DNA to store data

Quantum computing - Based on quantum mechanics and stores information using particle states

Better batteries - Wireless charging of batteries, longer-lasting batteries


 
Future Developments in Secondary Storage
Higher-density disks
Perpendicular recording technology: stacking magnetic bits vertically on the surface of a platter (instead of horizontally, as usual)
Molecular electronics– storage at the subatomic level
