WOW. Great idea on his part.

 

East Or West India is Best.

 

Haha! Right, like that's gonna work. I'll believe it when I see a real 100 GB disk...

 

If this works there will be a revolution

 

I doubt this works... and in any case, i rather have cds than waste more paper than we already do...

 

Now thats a start of Eco-friendly technology

 

Plus ... you know how easy paper is to bend or ruin, cmon.

 

it mite work out if your cd sized paper disc can give ya 450gb capacity instead of 8gb in a dvd

 

Well that’s one thing I never thought of before I don’t know if it will work but if it does it will represent a great evolution in the way we stare date. From paper to digital only to go back to paper.

 

This came out a couple weeks ago, and then about a week later it was revealed that it was a hoax.

 

Oh well, that's the way of the world

 

Come on...it's not like it's gone be on a toilet paper or something. An image may be printed on a hard card or smth. similar. I think the concept of storing so much data in images is the main idea here (of course if this whole story is not a big lie...)

EDIT: Oh well, it was a hoax after all..... And why people do this..? Attention? I mean it's going to be revealed at some point...

 

I wouldn't say it's Eco-friendly. Papper comes from trees, killing trees is not Eco-friendly.

 

I also don't think it's impossible. There is already a technology whereby thousands of images can be stores in a little dot of paper. So this would work basically in the same way.

 

oops non-eco friendly tech then

 

What if it uses the papers which are already been used then it will be eco friendly

 

There are tonnes of eco friendly ways to make paper

IT

 

Very funny! Next time they should write about self-producing paper robots or something like that

 

wow great news to here,thankx for sharing
