I'm not sure how sold I am on this new technology yet and I don't think it will have an immediate impact in an industry that doesn't rely on quantitative components and data but rather is streamlined by visual communications. However, the memristor is apparently a microscopic component that is anticipated to make current computer technology obsolete in less than a decade. It apparently remembers electrical states even when turned off and is expected to be much faster and cheaper than flash storage. Thus, you can shut your computer off and turn it back on to immediately return back to what you were working on without needing to reboot. HP is perhaps the furthest along with the technology that was introduced by Intel and AMD and are expected to possibly replace DRAM and hard disks by 2016. This newer, affordable, faster technology will be small enough to fit in your pocket yet will still have the entire capacity of a fully developed desktop computer.
Cool, but not feasible for me. Maybe I'll adapt to this for my personal laptop, but the development of graphics needs visual aid as well as a work station to properly channel creativity to production. I'll keep my eye out on this technology, but other than being aware, this isn't something that a competitor can obtain that would give them a competitive advantage over me in the local market share.
