There are HVD's being developed that hold up to 3.4TB (yes I meant TB as in terabytes)
here is some info about them. Imagine that much space on a single disc. Eventually there will be that much space on something like a USB flash drive and by then there will be USB 3 or 4.0 ;)
Imagine later on when you can buy HVD's for normal prices. If you wanted a new OS you would just write that OS to the the HVD. Imagine partitioning out an optical disc. Also when you bought a new PC you no longer bought a HDD you bought a HVD with an OS automatically loaded onto it. That means your data is no longer restrained to a single PC.
Although optical discs are prone to get scratches and such. Maybe something like a plastic casing like the PSP cartridges or something or just go ahead and move to USB flash/thumb drives for the data standard.
I wonder when PCs will eventually just be the size of PDAs and all the data is on a USB drive or something similar to today's SD card or something and you just plug them into your roll-up monitor to use them.
The future of technology is pretty cool. Let's just hope to avoid "the rise of the machines" stuff. I really hope we as people do not start getting brain implants for TV, cellphones and that kindof stuff as I would rather stay human, not be part machine.
