ODC Theme: In The Future

Taken 12/4/11

In The Future Challenge

Data storage is so very important in this "information age" and I sometimes wonder what media will evolve into in the future for our children and their children. VHS, CD, DVD, BR, USB...what is the next acronym waiting to join the list!?

I feel like apologizing for this entry somewhat. I had some really good concepts in mind and they all went out the door due to lack of time, so this is the late night "I'm very tired and my back is killing me" entry and I was determined not to miss out completely.

Large view doesn't burn your eyes out like a few of my ODC's tend to do : /

Catch up soon with your interpretations :)
