The next big thing..

 The Next big thing? The memristor, a microscopic component that can "remember" electrical states even when turned off. It's expected to be far cheaper and faster than any flash storage. A theooretical concept since 1971, it has now been built in labs and is already starting to revolutionize everything we know about computing, possibly making flash memory, RAM and even hard drives obsolete within decade.
The memristor is just one of the amazing technological advances sending shock waves through the world of computing. Other innovations in the works are more down-to-earth, but they also carry watershed significance. From the technologies that finally make paperless offices a reality to those that deliver wireless power, these advances should make your PC become a whole different experience when the turn of the decade comes.
 If you could think of something new to technology what would it be? Do you think that you will be purchasing a memristor within the next decade?
