Or memristor. By now we were supposed to have all memristor storage. At least Intel is still working on bringing it to market:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gadgets&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;hp-and-sandisk-join-forces-to-finally-bring-memristor-like-tech-to-market&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gadgets&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;hp-and-sandisk-join-f...</a><p>I guess they&#x27;re calling it &quot;3D XPoint&quot; now, which is a shame because memristor has such a cool retro-future sound to it.  3D XPoint sounds like what a bunch of bored marketing execs would whip up over a short lunch.<p>While I&#x27;m at it, what ever happened to 3D printing? It was supposed to change everything, except its expensive and everything it makes looks like piled spaghetti.  The resin&#x2F;liquid based printing never took off and the few that did were troublesome and crazy expensive for materials.<p>Or that quantum computer that company was selling, except it was huge and cooled with liquid nitrogen and no one could prove it was doing quantum anything.<p>I&#x27;m also skeptical of the new VR fad. Yeah FPS addicts will probably love it, but grandpa and grandma aren&#x27;t putting  giant tissue boxes on their faces to watch a movie or skype with the grandkids.<p>All the cool stuff from just a year or two ago are either dying, forever in the &quot;we&#x27;re working on it&quot; stage, or were just vaporware. Nano hype has been here from the 80s and, unsurprisingly, has gone nowhere.
