Check out Graphene. Pretty cool stuff but will take years to get it cheap enough for the masses.

“HP said Wednesday it was working on a new computer architecture, dubbed The Machine, based on memristors and silicon photonics. “
Seems when a company tries this it flounders. Thinking of Itanium.

How dense? “We want you to be able to store your entire life; think of 100 terabytes on your smartphone,” Fink said. That’s more than a thousand times the storage an iPhone 5S has today.
Yeah...also, think of your "entire life" being dropped in the toilet or washed overboard from the deck of the sailboat. Think of your "entire life" being chucked into the storm drain by an angry significant other. Think of your "entire life" dropped into the monkey exhibit at the zoo by your fun-loving three year old. Think of your "entire life" tossed and crushed by your constantly inebriated roommate under the wheels of the monster truck he owns, purely as a practical joke.
Just think of the possibilities!

Unlike “your entire life” of scrapbooks, kids pix, photoalbums, significant correspondence, business papers and so on being lost in a fire, “your entire life” on this hypothetical phone can be backed up to a remote location. And only a moron would fail to do so...

HP sold off all its photonic experts 7-10 years ago.
Those engineers are all working for much better companies.
HP has a rep now of being a very bad place to work unless you like being micro managed.
I will Never step foot in an HP site ever again.

That was a Carly f up. Get rid of the entire processor technology group. Expect your HP-UX/PA-RISC customer base to remain. All while farming it out to Intel and expect to keep them committed to HP-UX/Microsoft compatible Itanium.

Half the population has below average intelligence, and when you look at who the majority of Americans voted for in the last Presidential year, you realize pretty quickly how appallingly stupid “average” is...

“Your entire life” and the NSA’s ability to catalog it.
Wonderful.

They were having problems with Itanium before they even got this far. Besides, that was mainly Intel's puppy. HP HAD great technology (DEC's Alpha), and didn't do anything useful with it at the right time.
If this flops, I would compare this ti being a large scale version of the RAMBUS debacle.

100 Terabyte Smartphone!................NSA will have fits!................ How much of that 100TB would you access in a day, month, year or lifetime? I think I would rather have fast cloud access speed.
To: Milton Miteybad
100TB. How much porn can you watch on your cell phone?
Does the phone have an enhanced vibrate function?

That’s all well and good but download speed would have to improve radically in order to capitalize upon it even if it were to come into fruition.
