IBM is currently working on a networking project which promises movie download in one second from internet.This project has raised question over the existence of Blu-ray or the recently demised HD DVD format.This project can also put an end to DVD usage. The technology that IBM's developing uses photons of light, instead of electrons, to transmit information. That, the company says, promises networks in which 8 trillion bits of information could be transferred in a second using power equivalent to that required by a single, 100-watt bulb.The technology could also be used to turn cell phones and PDAs into portable HD displays.
A complete databus built from Optocards would not only incorporate a large number of high-speed channels it would also pack them together to create an architecture of unprecedented bandwidth density. That's because each waveguide channel is smaller than a human hair.
IBM said the work was undertaken as part of a networking research project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency at the Department of Defense.
