Tech Beyond 2010

GIGABIT INTERNET(2012):Dogged by the speed of ya home broadband service?With a gigabit internet connection over a fiber-optic line,you’ll be able to download da latest movies in less than a minute@speeds up to 1 gbps.
MOBILE FUEL CELLS(2013):Now in development,hydrogen fuel cells will power your laptop for a week at a time using storage-bougth fuel cartridges.

SMART HOMES(2014):We’ve heard for years about the smart home- a house chock-full of computer-driven appliances that cater to your every need. As homes with built-in ethernet wiring become more common in several years,central home PCs will control everything from thermostat to the lighting to the security system.

PROBE STORAGE(2015):Code-named Millepede, the probe storage system being developed by IBM will use atomic force microscopy(think itsy-bitsy dots)to store more than a terabyte of data per square inch on a polymer surface. An array of thousands of little probes will be able to read and write large amounts of that data far more quickly than today’s drives can.

NANO LIGHTING SYSTEM(2015):It has “lighting” right in the name, so you know its cool, but it’s really about cooling off ya hardware. Microscopic nanotubes will use an electrical charge to generate tiny wind currents on the surface of your chips to cool them down without the aid of fans.

    To download full length high res movies under 1 minute, a super fast net connection is not enough. You have to have a super fast harddrive to be able to store data arriving at such a fast rate.

    1 Gbps = 128 MBps (1)

    For a 700 MB movie. it would take 700/128 = 5.5 seconds

    So thats about 10 700MB movies per minute :-)

    Ultra320 SCSI can do 320 MBps

    that means it can write 700MB movie in less 3 seconds and upto 18 Gigs in a minute

    HP SAS drives can do 3Gbps

    I did not know that.

    Mah reng reng se, my favourite line:
    “Finally, I must include my standard disclaimer: we are discussing interface transfer rates here. These represent only the maximums that data can be transmitted across the interface under theoretical conditions. The big numbers that are popularly discussed ignore command overhead and other inefficiencies, so you will not actually get a full 160 MB/s on an Ultra160 interface. Also, remember that true performance will be limited by the speed of the devices on the interface. Simply increasing the speed of the interface is not enough to really improve performance unless the interface was already the limiting factor (such as if multiple drives were saturating it). See here for more on this issue. Also remember that the maximum throughput of any SCSI device will be limited by the throughput of the host adapter’s system bus interface.” :)
