A dozen atoms have been made to store a bit of data magnetically – a feat normally performed by a million atoms. The work could one day help shrink the devices that store computer data. —Smallest magnetic memory uses just 12 atoms – physics-math – 12 January 2012 – New Scientist.

1 bit of data on 12 atoms.. It makes me wonder where this is going to end.
It seems like it was just yesterday that I had customer come into my PC building shop, where he proceeded to order a system with a 10GB hard drive. Myself and the techs that I worked with were shocked at the size of storage he was requesting. He wanted it all for pictures he’d taken, and the drive alone was well over $300.00. That was back in 1998 if I’m not mistaken.
Now here I sit with a terabyte and a half on my system a short 12 years later. That’s a hundred and fifty times as much as he was ordering, which at the time seemed staggering.
Kids 50 years from now will be talking googalbytes.
