Re: Memory prosthesis.

So a hundred years from now children will be baffled when they are told the impeached president of 1998 answered "I don't remember" over one hundred times in a court deposition.

Going from 5 to 100 GB/sq in would take only five years at 60% compound growth. What do we do after that although presumably approaching the limit will slow the pace of advancement. Also, it would seem as if 100 GB is the limit even with optically assisted magnetic recording. Maybe you get further advancement from cost decreasing all components since they will be static in terms of performance (a four platter disk drive for the price of three a year or two earlier).
