Properties of Glass

[Sinny]

Random question:

Some old guy reckons that he used to work for intel in the US. He said ten years ago they had glass devices that stored audio recording's from up to 24 hours before. Like the audio left an imprint.

I wouldn't know where to start in verifying this...Any thoughts?

That reminds me of this.

I think you are right ArMap, HDSS is way , way a head of it's time of the 1990's as far as information storage goes. I do think it is quite cool though. Just think 3X's more storage space than Blu-ray, that is something.

"Wonder what they have gotten now?" maybe installed windows that take video camera feeds via supporting leap frog WiFi?

Remember hearing about this in the millennium year, very high tech advancement with laser and data storage for sure.

Thank you ArMap - ohh juicy!

Another lead to follow- I'm interested in hologram data storage , as according to Peter Beter the US & Russia have been using these things in 'clones' for decades.

I know there is a thread on this board about the TV show Fringe.  A type of technology was shown twice during the 5 seasons that the show ran where audio was pulled from glass.   I couldn't find a clip from the first season when a "homemade" version of an audio device captures sound but there is a clip from season 5 when the "Observers" use a high tech version.

All ya need is an LQ7 unit.

**SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL WATCHING FRINGE**

[tech is used after 1.01 of the clip]




There was a lot of interesting tech that was used throughout the series.  I'd recommend it those who haven't seen it yet.  Interesting scientific concepts, decent story line, parallel universes and time travel all rolled into one show.  The writers started off with 5 solid years of story line but most viewers tuned out early on in season 1 and the show barely made it to season 3.  Fox however continued it to 5 seasons based on the producers and others involved in making the show (and the 1.9 million viewers) who all wanted to see how everything ended.  If you got the time, check it out.
