Information moves freely through space lost and looking for a transmission to which it can cling. A signal goes out and the information grabs a hold moving speedily across some unperceived dimension, it is then downloaded and stored in a mobile device, finally being accessed by its user in which this time it goes through a similar process. Only this time it is being stored in the human hard drive called the brain.

The Internet offers human beings an almost unlimited amount of information, information that is being consumed at a rate I cannot even calculate. The Internet is like the universe always expanding, but unlike the universe the Internet is read and interpreted by electronic devices. These devices, although capable of interpreting the Internet, have their limitations, mainly limitations in memory.

The memory of the device is what stores the data in the device, the memory is used for uploads and downloads; saving and storing passwords and numerous other things.

Well with a device's memory being a limitations then it is no wonder that much of technological innovation comes through memory upgrades and expansions upon already existing technologies.

Recently, companies Intel and Micron have reached a new zenith in flash memory technology. According to an article on PC World's Web site, "Intel and Micron Double Flash Storage Capacity With 25-Nanometer NAND," that a 25 nanometer NAND flash memory device capable of holding up to 8-gigabytes was created by the two computer companies.

According to PC World, the device is so small that that it can fit through the hole in the center of a CD but holds over 10 times the amount of information.

What this means is that all those super cool mobile devices that are being used today like smart phones and mp3 players could see a significant boost in memory or a significant decrease in size.
