Researchers at IBM have developed technology which uses dents in thin plastic film to store information. It's a bit like the punch cards of computing history, except the dents are 10 nanometers in width. (A nanometer is one-millionth of the width of a piece of paper-clip wire.)
The researchers estimate that with this technology in practical use, a common multifunction digital wristwatch could contain 15 gigabytes of data... that's about 23 CDs, or 2 or 3 DVD movie discs.
