‘Think small’ is indubitably the new mantra for methodical success if we talk of consumer goods. Hewlett-Packard’s Bristol is working on an adhesive chip named Memory Spot that is able to store and transfer up to four megabytes of data. And, you know what? The tiny device comes in two sizes, 1.4 or 2 square millimeters.
The stamp-like memory device, when attached to some photo or any document, turns them into hyperlinks. The storage capacity is enough to store a small footage or a few songs. While a RFID can work from across a room, the Memory Spot has to be in direct contact with a reader to transfer data.
Another possible application of the stamps could be to store patient’s medical records. The Memory Spot is intended to hit the market within two years from now.
