wild holographic storage technology
a 1-centimetre cube of the material should store 6 million megabits (6 terabits) of data. And because data pages are read all in one go, rather than as a sequential stream of bits, they can be read a hundred times faster than from a DVD.

3G: 3rd generation mobile phone technology - always on net connection, using packet switching at 384 kb/sec to begin, but increasing to 2 mb/sec as development continues - each phone with a unique IP address (rather than a phone number)
