Q: What does the memory market look like for 2006?

A: We're at the point where it's cheaper for us to get 1-gigabyte chips instead of smaller capacities, and we're passing the savings on. The pricing will be such that people will see the benefits of having a higher-capacity card. Within the next two years, we think the price will fall to $10 per GB (cards now average $40-$50 for a 1 GB), and when that happens, we don't think people will bother to erase the pictures off their cards anymore.

Q: Your highest-capacity card right now is 8 GB, which is many more times the capacity of computers 10 years ago. How much further can you go?

A: We believe that in 20 years time, we will be able to fit 10 terabytes of information into a card that's as small as a quarter. Ten terabytes is the amount of memory we have in the human brain. Ten terabytes could fit 5,000 movies. When you have that kind of memory, you could store a human lifetime's worth of memory into one of these cards. You could implant a device like this in your head to restore memory.
