"You're about to see the movie that
holds the Guinness World Records™ record for the World's Smallest
Stop-Motion Film (see how it was made at http://youtu.be/xA4QWwaweWA).
The ability to move single atoms — the smallest particles of any
element in the universe — is crucial to IBM's research in the field of
atomic memory. But even nanophysicists need to have a little fun. In
that spirit, IBM researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope to
move thousands of carbon monoxide molecules (two atoms stacked on top of
each other), all in pursuit of making a movie so small it can be seen
only when you magnify it 100 million times. A movie made with atoms."

"How did IBM researchers move all
those atoms to make the world's smallest movie? This short
behind-the-scenes documentary takes you inside the lab. Meet the
scientists, see how they made a movie with atoms, and find out more
about their research in the field of atomic memory and data storage. See

That was very interesting. "Storing all the movies ever made on a chip and carrying them around with you" that sure doesn't seem necessary, but the computing and calculating possibilities that so much data could happen on something so portable is amazing.
I don't get It? I have however seen movies I wish were smaller than this one. I do understand storage though, and It seems that If all of us are going to be dead from disease that nobody can figure out, but can figure out storage (instead of how to cure disease) what good will It do?
Working at the atomic level used to be science fiction.
