So a buddy of mine sent me this interesting article, and while I don't understand most of it, I can understand enough to realize that if this is legit and something that is happening sooner rather then later, could have a major impact on at least one area of computers. A new way to store and transmit data using "photonic" memory, or basically light. Article is here: http://bgr.com/2015/09/30/photonic-memory-vs-ssd/

Was hoping a more tech-minded person might have some input on this and say whether or not this is the real deal and if it's something we'll be seeing in the near future or not.
