1979 called, and they want their "Intel Magnetics 7110" one megabit bubble memory chips back. At the time, it seemed that bubble memory would supplant disk, tape, and even core memory (RAM to you). Maybe memristors will happen.

If so, they’re very talented at it

Probably inspired by the first Michael Bay Transformers movie.
