Holographic data storage

The first computer I have had a  micropolis 4110 scsi 1 g hard drive. During that time my operating system is windows 3.1. I could say I have enough data space during that time.  Currently my disk space is about 700++ gigabit.  Time changes and so thus the need for more storage space.

Even disk type changes from the 5 ½ floppy to 3 ½, then cd, dvd and lately blue ray.  Currently GE is working on a halograph storage technology by a chemical approach. This system will enable an ordinary DVD to fit 200 times more data . Another advantage of the chemical approach is that surface area is not anymore a factor and more and more flexibility in media size and shape of the disk.

For now they are thinking of a way to make it more affordable so mass production could take place. 

IBM Watson vs Jeopardy

[youtube 3e22ufcqfTs]

Few years back we are amazed on how deep blue a chess-playing computer won against world champion Gary Kasparov. Now, IBM is building a super computer that would play “Jeopardy”, the project or computer code is “Watson.” Watson is a complex computer system that  would analyst a complex question and answer and give a response fast enough to compete in the show. Watson has been under development for nearly two years and “Jeopardy” have already announced plans to show an episode on a human vs machine contest.

The main purpose of building the computer is for business application, the computer  would be able to handle complex question that require  deciphering of relevant  and irrelevant matter/data to arrive to a decision like what a human brain do.
