Information Storage and Nanotechnology
presentation

The slowdown in areal density increases that have been observed in 
engineered systems such as magnetic hard disk drives may lead some 
to believe that we are approaching the end of further significant 
improvements in information storage technology. In this 
presentation I will argue that  not only is this not the case it is 
in fact more likely that new paradigms that exploit nanotechnology, 
namely, the ability to manipulate materials and devices at the 
nanoscale in a deterministic manner will allow for many orders of 
magnitude increases in information storage densities. In addition 
the integration of information storage and processing will allow 
for new IT architectures that will make possible applications and 
have societal impacts that we can only begin to imagine today.
