Fascinating.
Quartz lasts the test of time and it does sing.

Well, my 8-track tape of Montana Slim can last a 100 years too, but find a reader or anyone who remembers and wants to hear Montana!

It is of note that the entire data world we take for granted now falls back on the lowly quartz crystal for its piezoelectric quality’s.

A small bit of quartz stimulated with voltage sings and becomes a clock to clock all our digital data.

Lord your world is so wonderful.

CAIR and other Muslim apologists will be greatly displeased witth data storage on quartz. Muslims burned libraries everywhere they went, whenever they could.

Imagine a Goat F*cker, oops, Muslim trying to burn quartz.

Interesting.

As a (retired) chip-maker, I've often wondered if we should look for a form of sub-micron communications from previous or alien intelligent sources?

I contributed to the making of chips that are about to leave the solar system on the Voyager space craft. I wonder where they'll be 100 million years from now? Will someone find them one day?

SunkenCiv, want to get a SEM and begin doing some micro archaeology?

Hitachi recently announced that it has developed a medium that can outlast not only this old-school format but also CDs, DVDs, hard drives and MP3s.

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

Any idiot knows MP3s have nothing to do with CDs, DVDs, hard drives, nor any other means of data storage. MP3s are collections of bits. Data storage is where bits are kept. Period.

Um...what? Since when are MP3s a storage medium?
