This report from News.com.au caught our attention because 2,000 movies in a single disc is quite a lot of data. It will surely have an impact on the resources we use to make DVDs. In summary, researchers from the Swineburn University of Technology have found a way, using nanotechnology, to add 2 more dimensions to the 3 already in use in the thin space of a disc.
Does the new technology means we would be using less of the plastic discs (thus less resources and energy to make them) and reduce their recycling/landfill issues or will it encourage increased storage of superfluous data?
Check out the following related posts:
I don’t think it will cause superfluous data. People used to think megabytes were huge, then gigabytes were huge. 2000 movies really isn’t a big deal. A DVD is about 4.7 gigabytes. When I’m editing raw footage from my non-HD digital camcorder, the video files are about 200 gigabytes already. If I go to HD, it will be even more insane. I’ll still have to be cautious about how to use the space efficiently. I think landfill/waste has more to do with our personal and political way of thinking about cheap media than the amount of storage itself. We’ll always find a way to use more space, there could never be enough.
Good day!
