INTRODUCTION
Rainbow technology, a breakthrough in digital data storage enables us to store up to a massive 450 GB on just a piece of paper.
Rainbow Storage is a group of techniques to store digital data in some colors, color combinations and some symbols known as rainbow format, and therefore a rainbow picture will be generated.
With the help of Rainbow system we would be watching full-length high-definition videos from a piece of paper.
Process of Storing data
Printing at 1,200 dots per inch (DPI) leads to a theoretical maximum of 1,440,000 colored dots per square inch.
If a scanner can reliably distinguish between 256 unique colors, the maximum possible storage is approximately 140 megabytes for a sheet of A4 paper.
If the scanner were able to accurately distinguish between 16,777,216 colors (24 bits, or 3 bytes per dot), the capacity would triple claims of several hundred gigabytes.
ADVANTAGES
The extremely low-cost technology will drastically reduce the cost of storage and provide for high speed storage too.
Files in any format like movie files, songs, images, text can be stored using this technology.
The biodegradable nature of the storage devices would do away with the e-waste pollution.
The four main storage devices made using this technology are RVD, Disposable storage, Data Banks, Rainbow cards.
DISADVANTAGES
The paper has the tendency to fade away hence the data loss may occur.
With the extremely low cost of using this technology we can always afford to have multiple copies
CONCLUSION
Once the Rainbow technology is in, soon we would be watching full-length high-definition videos from a piece of paper!
With the popularity of the Rainbow Technology, computer or fashion magazines in future need not carry CDs in a pack.
It should cost a lot less to produce than the typical polycarbonate DVDs, CDs and now Blu- rays. Huge data banks can be constructed out of Rainbow-based storage medium.
