INTRODUCTION
Since the dawn of time ,man has tried to record important events and techniques for everyday life. At first, it was sufficient to paint on the family cave wall, how one hunted, then came the people who invented spoken languages and the need arose to record what one was saying without hearing if firsthand. However in the twentieth century computers began to come into general use.
Present Storage Devices
Hard disk & Tapes - Magnetic technology
Compact disk - Optical technology
RAM - Electronic Circuit technology
Advantages of molecular switches
Appreciable reduction in hardware size
Computer size can be reduced to about 1/20th of that of the present day computers
Improvement in speed, high reliability & thorough put
Applications
Storage of digitized hospital x-rays that will allow a physician to instantly obtain high-resolution images of a patient’s records stored hundreds of miles away.
Cable television stations and potentially individuals, will be able to store countless hours of movies on a single cube.
