Implications Of 3 Terabyte Compact Discs
The article I have chosen is titled "How To Burn A 3 Terabyte CD" by Kate Greene. The article focuses on the exponentially advancing storage capacities of next-generation's writable media. Currently, the highest storage capacity for optical discs has peaked at 50 gigabytes, with Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs. The article implies that a research team at Harvard is very close if not already there to creating a way to store up to 3 Terabytes (3TB 3,000 Gigabytes; 3,000,000 Megabytes) of data onto one disc.
The common method of burning data to Compact Discs (CDs), Digital Video Discs (DVDs), HD-DVDs (High-Definition DVDs) and Blu-Ray DVDs (another form of high-definition) involves using a small wavelength of laser-light to burn' the data onto a disc. This rudimentary technique is limited because the "small" laser-light is somewhat thick (400-800 nanometers wide) and cannot burn more than 50 gigabytes of data onto one disc. The reason this research team has gone farther than......
