Technology - All your movies on a single DVD!

This is fascinating - All your movies on a single DVD:

----------
Scientists unveiled new DVD technology on Wednesday that stores data in five dimensions, making it possible to pack more than 2,000 movies onto a single disc.
----------

This is just an amazing breakthrough. At one of my first jobs out of college we had workstations with ten megabytes disks! These disks will hold terrabytes, a million times more storage.

The down side is they don't expect to be shipping these new disk for maybe as much as twenty years.
