If you are a Trekkie like me, then you would know Commander Data, played by Brent Spinner in the TV series “Star Trek, The New Generation.”

Commander Data is an android that knows almost everything that is stored in his own “data center.” According to Wikipedia, his storage capacity is reportedly at 93,132,257.5 gigabytes, while his processing speed is at “60 trillion operations per second” or 60 teraflops!

Can you imagine if instead of data centers, businessmen would have Commander Data by their side during meetings, storing, processing and pulsing information at unimaginable speed?
