You guys need to be a little more specific. What kind of element? I hope you are not referring to the periodic table. If so, you people are **** dumb.

hey SADDAY - maybe get a clue and look something up yourself once in a while and you wont look like such an idiot when "You" post like that.

What do you think we are talking though in terms of something real from the tech? 10 years, 20 years? So much exciting stuff going on, I just hope I live to see some of it. I want my Jetson style tv that is affordable in my lifetime.

@ Sadday, they are talking about electical elements. Chemical elements are the ones we all know from the periodic table.

This article used the term "element" too-loosely. They don't mean element as in carbon or hydrogen but a CIRCUIT element. There's already a brief entry on widipedia, but the clue in any case is that "memristor", while a great name for a new circuit element, doesn't hold to any naming conventions for new actual elements, which are typically named after, or by, their discoverers, and usually end with -ium (at least the later ones).

You guys mean circuit element right???

I remember similar things being said about zram and tram. I'll believe it when it happens. Too many times I have gotten excited about upcoming technologies only to never hear of them again and they just vanish.

It would be nice to see some fundamental changes in the PC market, but ... I'm through holding my breath.
