A group at Rice University led by chemist James Tour has found a way to make a microchip that fits into a phone that has a terabyte of data. That's over 1000 gigabytes! They managed this by improving something called RRAM, or resistive random-access memory. It can be made using silicon oxide which is in things like sand and glass, so it's clearly abundant. On top of that, they're saying that since it's the same material that's in glass, they could even start holding data in the screen itself.
What are your thoughts? What do you think you'd end up using all the space for if you got one?

Good but you could have replied a few more times.
I think that this is awesome. I would use a lot of the gigabytes and never worry if I was going to run out of gigabytes. One thing with iphones is it is really easy to use up all your gigabytes.
That is cool how they found this tech, and if I were to get this much space I probably wouldn't even scratch the surface of space.
I think it would be a big help. Personally i use up a lot of storage on my phone with music and apps. If they did put in in your phones glass, would cracking your screen affect it?
I imagine it would maybe corrupt some data, but there's really no mention of it in the article. I think it'd just corrupt random data, so they'd make sure the important programs that the phone needs to run in the back of the phone still.
no
I would love this for my phone it would make it for never having to delete anything again. This would be a big help for mass amounts of pictures videos music etc. Personally I think this chip itself is going to cost a bazillion dollars and would be the price of another phone itself.
I think that this could bring technology farther than it already is in the future. Im not sure I would be able to use even half of that space.
If this is on sale I would most likely purchase it. iPhone users who have only a certain ammount of data use it up fast. The applications on the phone itself already takes up a lot of data. On iPhones you can buy more data but some people cant afford that. That microchip would come in handy.
I think you're mistaking the kind of data. You're thinking cellular data to connect to the internet. This is memory to hold apps, music, movies, etc.
