Maybe? Maybe that is fucking retarded as holographic data storage
is still years off, regardless of the fact that it is being worked on
today.
Maybe a standard single track style optical medium like that which we
have today will have a sufficient enough data rate to give us a high

theater has.
Oooops... too late... we are already there.
