High-density blue-laser DVDs that hold 27GB aren't even common yet, and already a group of Japanese companies is looking to the next level: 1TB DVDs. That's 1,000GB, or 218x the capacity of current DVDs that you burn with your computer.
The first generation of Optware's new HVD (Holographic Versatile Disc), however, is expected to hold "just" 100GB or 200GB.
A 1TB disc could hold more than two months of 24-hour TV (just what civilization has been waiting for -- that, and flying cars). Or, every AutoCAD drawing ever produced.
