More signs of the slow declining influence of TV. If teens are not watching TV what are they doing? - "eMarketer estimates that 24% of the 34.3 million child and teen (3-to-18) Internet users in the US will use virtual worlds on at least a monthly basis in 2007. By 2011, 53% of them will be going virtual."

Memory and storage in electronics is shrinking further and faster and will use a fraction of the power of present memory. University of Arizona electronic engineering dept have developed nano-ionic memory. This new type of memory technology could lead to thumb drives or digital-camera memory cards that store a terabyte of information - 1000 GB -more than most hard drives hold today. The first examples of the new technology, which could also slash energy consumption by more than 99 percent, could be in our hands within 18 months. What will be the social effect of so cheap, so abundant, so small, so fast memory on us all? More people filming, storing, producing UGC? Storing your whole visual life in your pocket from the moment you first were given a mobilephone?
