Exactly - computers are just high-speed tools, period. Like a power drill. It drills holes through steel a lot faster than my finger can, though I wouldn't call it "better" than my finger inherently.

And human beings have solved many problems that have been proven to be unsolvable using deterministic computing.

I dont know why people hold on so dear to old formats...yeah buying new hardware can be expensive, but prices always go down...I say the bigger and better, the bigger and better...I just really hope they are robust and ready for long term archiving 100 plus years....so my grand kids can watch all of grandpas old porn.

500gb isn't that much data, however it's great that optical discs can now store that much information.

In hard drives,there are more than just one disk.combine that with this and HDD's will possibly not dissapear because of SSD's(1 tb sdcard).

I forgot to tell you that hdd disks are much thicker than dvds. so it will end up being ALOT of storage if GE accomplishes there new goal.
