Imagine if every tweet, snapchat, and YouTube comment ever made was preserved for eternity?Well, we might have the technology, for better or worse.Hey guys, Amy with you on DNews today talking some incredibly mind-bending data storagetechnology!The new technology comes from scientists at the University of Southampton’s OptoelectronicsResearch Centre. They developed a five dimensional recording and retrieval process on fused quartzusing femtosecond laser writing -- meaning a laser pulse that lasts one quadrillionthof a second.Yeah, you heard that right: a laser is recording data on quartz in 5 dimensions!To break this down, let’s compare this new technology to a CD. When data is stored ona conventional optical media like a CD, it’s stored by burning tiny bumps...
