Future of storage and processing

[phant80]

I was wondering if someone can help me with an assignment question. I need to "discuss the future implications of the exponential growth of storage and processing". I was wondering if anyone could email me at [email protected] I have been on the internet for the last 4 hours trying to google and yahoo search info but nothing is coming up. Please, please, please help. Assignment due at end of week and teachers at my school wont help!

well I am not quite sure what you mean, but as far as a PC is concerned, the changes in a CPU which have evovled from single, to dual and now quad core, and how it processes information, one can only wonder where it goes from there? Storage as far as the PC is concerned the next evolution will be solid state drives (SSD), as a hard drive, which at the moment are only available to the military, and very expensive. We have smaller versions such as flash drives and digital camera memory card. When you talk say a 160 Gb SSD your talking approx. $1000 - $1500 in cost. once they evolve to the public the cost will come down. You are already seeing changes with the apple mac's and ipod, next G mobile phones, everything smaller and walkabout? Not sure if this will satisfy your teachers but keep researching, the answer is out there--oh sounds like an X-file?? Good luck
