Samsung makes mega memory microchip

Samsung, the world's largest manufacturer of computer chips, unveiled a 64 gigabit memory chip. This was constructed using circuit elements that are 30 nanometers wide. This marks the eighth straight year that memory density in computer chips has doubled. Experts say that this will lead to, among other things, music players that are much smaller while maintaining an unbelievable amount of storage space. The mass production of this chip will begin in 2009.

For technology fans, this is probably an expected step in progress but for those of us who do not profess to be technology experts, the pace of development in this area is truly astounding. How far technology has progressed and is progressing with each year is truly amazing. It just makes you wonder what will be next! If technology continues to develop at this rate, the potential for incredible innovations is very high. Those in the technology fields must really be forward thinkers and inventors with the ability to visualize products for the future and how they can improve our lives with great leaps in technology. We have come a long way in the past few years but it appears to just be the tip of the iceberg.
