Next-gen blogging
Information storage has increased a huge amount in the last ten years, but a new invention, MRAM, or magnetic random access memory, could blow the lid off of storage capacities, as well as blogging.
A personal life recorder, or PLR, could be a small device that you could attach to your clothing, or wear like a pin or necklace (similar to today's cell phones or music players). It records images and sounds around you, using up very little power and having th capacity to store huge amounts of data. Moblogging today essentially deal with blogging with cell phone cameras. Imagine what a blogger could do with a PLR. The 2009 Liberal Leadership convention from an insider? Or the DNC in 2012? Or the sex blog of a highly exhibitionist couple? By then, web packages will be talking about multiple gigs of storage, rather than megs, and hopefully Internet-2, or whatever they will be calling it, will be accessible to all.
Imagine a MRAM laptop that boots up in 3 seconds instead of 10 minutes? A cell phone on which you can watch DVDs (with a screen adapter, I imagine)? Incontrovertible proof that X did Y? You could never get away with anything, then. At least, not until someone figured out how to get around this with cloaking technology.
I guess those intelluectual property people would be all up in arms over this.
