2. Micro Hard Drive
Very big files now fit inside very small packages.

More data, at lower cost, in ever smaller devices: Micro hard drivers-which cram gigabyte -level storage capacity and rapid data- transfer rates into tiny, matchbook-size casing -are the way to go. This year Colorado-based Cornice began selling its 1.5GB Storage Element drive to manufacturers like RCA and Rio for use in MP3 players. Hitachi ,which purchased IBM’s pioneering microdriver business in 2002 ,recently unveiled its own 4-gigabyte microdriver. Future applications are easy to imagine ： Cell phones, PDAs ,and camcorders will soon include much more built-in storage. Subtler , perhaps .is the impact this will have on the way we think about mobility .With vast amounts of data always close at hand ,micro hard drivers will effectively become personal servers, providing ready access to your favourite songs, movies, contacts, and photographs - anywhere you roam. -MATTEW MAIER

3.Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
The next machine age arrives in miniature

A tad too large to qualify nanotechnology ,but still as tiny as a speak of dust, MEMS are making a big splash. Once considered a laboratory novelty, MEMs are functional micromachines that use mechanical pumps ,valves ,cantilevers, gears or switches to perform physical tasks .Now they’re beginning to appear in commercial applications such as consumer electronics and automotive systems .The break-through? Inexpensive manufacturing techniques that stamp out micro-size mechanical assemblies in much the same way that circuits are etched on silicon to create processor chips. MEMs nozzles are already used in ink-jet printers ,and MEMs velocity sensors tell most new cars when it’s time to trigger airbags. Untapped opportunities lies in the fields of medicine and telecommunications, where MEMs pumps could provide precision-controlled drug delivery systems ,while MEMs optical switches could reduce the cost and complexity of fiber-optic networks.-DAVID PESCOVITZ
