I watched the video and got excited too. Petabits of on-chip
non-volatile storage? that also can do logic? That's more than a
game changer.
same here, it seems like an interesting technology.
However, I'd bet on it because of the scale of TiO2/TiO2-x device.
Other memristive devices weren't so small AFAIK.
yeah, this is a good point at least.
at least from what was said, if it can be done, does sound promising.
but, I am also left sometimes wondering about things like space-travel,
cybernetics, and robotics as well, these
also sometimes being fields seemingly doomed to go nowhere fast (and one can wonder
if/when anything "cool" will
ever really happen).

well, that is something at least.
not meaning to be pessimistic, or if this is inappropriate for here:
a downside of most current (real-world) robotics is that they are
functionally fairly limited, and generally only available to a small
number of people (IOW: the people researching robotics).
the contrast would be if there were general-purpose robots which were
available to the general public (sort of like how cars are commonly
available, not necessarily cheap, but where people can still go and buy
them).
yes, at least computers are cool, but then again, given that PCs have
existed longer than I have, these aren't really all that new from my
POV. most other current/modern technologies are, similarly, much older
than I am.
granted, yes, technologies still change and improve over time...
for example, the world now would be pretty lame if the computers of now
were the same as those which existed around the time I was born (a lot
of stuff I am doing now probably wouldn't likely be possible or
practical on the hardware which existed at the time).
or such...
