Not that I'm espousing Scientology in any way, but they needed a method of making sure that L. Ron Hubard's speeches would be playable in 300 years. They chose to buy a cutting lathe and put the speeches on LP!
What will be the data storage method of the future
Please correct my errors, but we have gone from:
1) Holes in paper: Player piano.
2) Holes in metal disc; Old phonograph.
3) Vinyl
4) Tapes: 8 track and then cassette.
5) CD
6) Hard drive.
7) compact flash card.
8) USB flash drives.
9) SD cards.
I'm still waiting for things to settle down before even deciding what to invest as my future storage media device. Seems like the industry can't decide either as there are many variations in playback machines. Very few are audiophile quality either (IMHO / IME).
Funny how this hasn't piqued the interest like HDCD, XRCD, DVD-Audio and SACD battles did.
