TED 2008 is coming, but we stumbled upon an interesting nugget already. Rice University professor Scott Cutler believes that DVR capacity and technology is going to keep getting better.
Now, while this seems pretty obvious as technology tends to get better, he put some numbers on it.
By 2013, he believes DVRs will be able to record ten channels for 2 straight weeks. That's 24/7 recording on ten channels for two whole weeks. This amounts to 3,360 hours of recorded video.
We're hoping he's assuming this is all HD video, of course. You basically won't have time to watch anywhere near all of that content.
There might also need to be some innovation in how to get 10 simultaneous feeds, but we're sure they can crack that nut.
