I do wonder how advanced computers wil be by 2020-2025.
Hopefully they'll be so advanced, that we won't need even more advancements for a few years, since about that time Moores law

It is scary how fast we are advancing technologically.
The average user supporting a 1TB hd, imagine the efforts to actually fill that.
The 1TB Ipod next?

Just imagine 75 years ago we were just starting production combustion engines. Then funny around 1947 things just started to advance at a very rapid pace...Fast forward..I find it very strange that in our time line as society we moved very slow in technology up untill around the 1947 era and then we leaped in electronics about 20 years? Kind makes you wonder how or who gave us a boost in intellegence?

any info on that, sounds pretty awesome.
SanDisk Corporation has introduced a 32-gigabyte (GB), 1.8-inch solid state drive (SSD) as a drop-in replacement for the standard mechanical hard disk drive.
Initially aimed at enterprise users as the first step toward mass consumer adoption, SanDisk SSD offers field-proven durability to keep mobile PCs working in the toughest of conditions and improves the overall user experience.
Previously, large capacity flash-based drives had been used primarily by the military, aerospace and telecom industries, which demanded high performance and reliability under challenging environmental conditions, according to a SanDisk official.
But now the declining cost of NAND flash memory has made SSD a viable and economically attractive alternative to existing technologies in a wider variety of applications, including mobile PCs aimed at enterprise and consumer users.
"This is an important milestone for SanDisk in our relentless quest to create new large-scale markets for flash storage solutions for consumers in the personal computing space," said SanDisk CEO Eli Harari.
Using NAND flash enhanced by SanDisk's patented TrueFFS flash management technology, SanDisk SSD delivers two million hours mean time between failures (MTBF) .

Though the SSD's price is high, its silent operation, light weight, incredible shock resistance, and low level of power consumption bolster its appeal. Our unit weighed just 1.6 ounces, compared to 3.5 ounces for a typical 2.5-inch drive; 1.8-inch SSDs weigh even less. Its shock rating is a whopping 1500G--it can withstand most shocks short of being fired out of a howitzer--far higher than a standard drive's 200G to 300G rating. And it draws a tiny 0.5 watt of power while active and 0.1 watt at idle, far less than common drives.

Nice link PieMan. Here's more on this 32gig flash ram drive. 1500g's is pretty impressive. You could probably throw it at a brick wall with no worries. Plus heat and power are seriously reduced. I am thinking of Julian Simon's theory on how human ingenuity always trumps resource scarcity. If power and weight are reduced whilst durability is raised, this cannot be anything but the future.

The following is a commercially available external firewire 1TB drive... and could have been bought by the public as far back as the later half 2005...
