I was wrong...I know, I know what you're thinking, it is crazy isn't it.  But when I said back here: [Accelerating Change and MP3 Players] that a 2 Gigabyte MP3 player would look like this:

I was wrong.

this:

in 2011, will likely be a terabyte mp3 player.

Terabyte Thumb Drives Made Possible by Nanotech Memory

Researchers have developed a low-cost, low-power computer memory that could put terabyte-sized thumb drives in consumers' pockets within a few years.

Unbelievable.  But only in a totally believable way.  This is a result of accelerating change in its purest form.  Here we have Michael Kozicki, director of ASU's Center for Applied Nanoionics, a field that probably didn't even exist 5 years ago and certainly 10 years ago, taking the breakthroughs in one avenue of research and applying it to another.

The beauty of it is, this doesn't need to be a whole new form of technology, this new memory can be made with much of the same technologies as what is currently in use in the industry.

Kozicki says the technology can be built from materials commonly used in the memory industry, which should help keep manufacturing costs down.

Remarkable.

techRivet.com has been trying to stay on top of the whole Brain Computer Interface [BCI] technologies for awhile now. [here] We've even talked about NeuroSky themselves and their almost-ready-for-consumer BCI unit.

Now we can see it in action

The games look somewhat basic at the moment, but give it time. If it is anything like the Wii controller and how fast people are adapting and mod-ing its uses...well it might be an interesting phase of computer interface development coming up.

What if you paired this:

With this:

Do you grok?
