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?

Resonse to Evans post...
Question: If you saw a bunch of people wearing "Blue Moon" shirts, and you were intoxicated, would you be encouraged to buy that beer?
To be honest I dont think just because someone is wearing a shirt with a beer logo I'm more up to buy that beer. I have my favorite beers and im not going ot change just because i see a different beer on a shirt or hat. People just think it's "cool" to get free stuff and just win. I don't think they really care what the shirt or hat said they only like it because its free and come on who doesn't like free things. When has anyone given up an opportunity to get something for free. So no if i saw a bunch of people wearing Blue Moon shirts and i was intoxicated i defiantly woundn't buy a blue moon because personally I hate blue moon and i wouldn't spend money on something I don't like or wouldn't drink!
Do you think that getting free shirts, hats or prizes in general would make you want to buy more alcohol? Do you think that the brand of alcohol on the "prize" would encourage you to buy that certain product?
