The future was never like this!
Work is still in progress. Shizuka University in
Japan recently demoed
a device that stores 2000 gigabytes of data in a 1cm cube of material.
Reading and writing the data is still too slow for a practical device
though. You could archive a *lot* of data with one!
What is too slow. Paper Tape is slow. :)
