Flash drives: Are now available in 32GB - http://tinyurl.com/38uq3n

Hard drives: One Tera byte drives are available - http://tinyurl.com/2fc2tu

Hard drives: Solid state - 128MB is, I think, the max now, but will change soon - http://tinyurl.com/2kjsl3

RAM: Is not only increasing in quantity but speed. That 8GB of RAM will run very fast. I know this will go over some heads: It is confusing if you're not into the tech bit. The reviews on this page mention speeds matching other components. Basically they are stating that the RAM is pretty much keeping up with the CPU on the motherboard. That's fast! - http://tinyurl.com/3bm2xn

Speaking of motherboards (the main board in your computer that everything else connects to and communicates through). They are becoming art:

Wow, 32 gigabytes on a flash drive. I guess it's time to upgrade the 512 meg flash drive I bought 2 and a half years ago!

I would like to see diapers that when soiled would instantly release enzymes to clean the infected area and keep the baby dry too.

More car tech stuff, The new Lincoln I've got has a feature where if the motor starts to over heat then it automatically switches to 4 cylinder mode and the other 4 cylinders function as an air cooler to keep the engine running cool till you get it to a garage. Why isn't this showing up on other vehicles yet?

Meals that you snap and they are instantly heated and ready to eat

I do have a question for anyone with the knowledge, What kind of gas develops by mixing scrap aluminum with muriatic acid, I know its explosive because I captured the gas in a balloon when I was a kid and lit it with a fuse. Just wondered if it was a viable fuel source?

I moved to a 4GB last year so I could store and/or transfer more customer data. This year the pricing is at the level a 1GB was when I bought the 4GB. Next year??

I have 2-4GB SD cards for my camera and a 40GB stand-alone drive in a case that accepts most camera cards so you can fill up a card, save off the data, reformat the card, fill it up again, etc. Really saved me on our cruise!

My cell accepts an SD Micro card for music, etc. It's an LG enV and it has pretty decent sound. I found a usb adapter that the SD micro slips into so I can copy music from my PC to the SD and then play it on the phone.

I had to replace my alarm radio and Found one that accepts an SD card and a usb drive. You can play them directly or use the music on them as a wake up.

Man I love technology!
