Seems like if you were looking to get into an emerging tech sector right now one of the better bets would be storage. I remember reading a long time ago about how they were looking at storing data in crystals because it would allow a huge capacity because of all the facets or something like that. I wonder if they actually got anywhere with that or they gave up on it. Maybe it was just something I saw on Superman and it doesn't really exist!

No. I remember something like this, too, that claimed a fifth dimension was created within a crystal that would allow just one to hold the entirety of human writing to date (back a few years ago). I hope they're still advancing it but I haven't followed up or even thought about since.
I don't remember anything about a fifth dimension, but I could be remembering wrong. Quite honestly, I am thinking it was probably closer to 25 years ago that I heard this. I think my brain might be fried.

Oh. No this was definitely within the last decade... maybe last 5 years.
Crybersecurity is also likely another good area. As we find ourselves more dependent upon technology and, if you will, merging with it, security is going to take on greater importance. It is an area that is not likely going to find a reversal in terms of its relvancy.

Very true! I kind of wish my degree had been more specialized like the ones today. Back then it was either Computer Science (Programming) or Computer Information Systems (Everything else).

LOL well whatever it was in, things have changed a great deal since you were getting your degree. It is an industry that does not standstill at all.

Oh, yeah, for sure. I went the Computer Information Systems route with a minor in management. It has worked out pretty okay for me, but like I said, it would have been cool to just specialize in security or networking like you can today.

Hard to see that security would become the issue that it did today but it has. And it will only keep pushing forward as we get more stuff taking place in this realm.
Imagine when we have nanobots that are within us (and our brains). The security is going to be crucial. We can already see this with autonomous vehicles. Do not want an autonomous lawnmower hacked and going through the neighborhood like Edward Scissorhands.

I don't think I am quite ready for all of that. I will probably be one of those who has to be dragged along kicking and screaming. I don't even allow an Alexa in my house!

I agree with you about Alexa.
To me it all comes down to who is in control of things. If it is the likes of Facebook, Google, or Amazon, no things. That is something we will have to work through.
