Researchers have come up with atomic level memory. Instead of conventional storage, 1s and 0s, individual atoms are used to represent the data. This is over a million times more efficient, meaning you could store 130 million MP3s on a single CD! (I don’t know why you’d want to do that, but hey… I’m sure there are some people out there who’d try it.)
Scientists said that this kind of memory storage is similiar to the way DNA works. In fact, they’re almost identical in the number of atoms used to store a bit of information.
Sure, I’d put a million on one cd, but god help me if I decided i need to play one in particular. It would take forever for the computer to read the damn thing.
