A
Kerala student has developed a technique for portable data whereby the data can
now be stored on ordinary paper. And to boot, larger amounts of data can be had
on lesser space. The immediate question that pops into the mind is how to
retrieve the data. Will it be as easy as feeding a floppy disc or CD into the
drive and having it on the monitor? Perhaps it will be much easier than that.
The piece of paper or even plastic sheet storing the data has only to be scanned
in the scanner and read over the monitor. So wait, scan drive would be part of
your computer. Named “Rainbow Technology”, the new technique is the brainchild
of Sainul Abideen, who has just finished his MCA at Muslim Educational Society
Engineering College in Kuttipuram in Kerala’s Malappuram district. The extremely
low-cost technology will drastically reduce the cost of storage and provide for
high-speed storage as well. Files in any format such as movie files, songs,
images and text can be stored using this technology......

Paper-based storage device
Are the days for CDs, DVDs, Zip drives over? A computer whiz kid is
revolutionizing the computer data storage through his Rainbow Technology. A

Rainbow technology
Storing 5GB on a small piece of paper not only sounds like technology in
reverse, but it sounds pretty hard to believe. But Sainul, a student at MES
Engineering College in India, has developed a technique that he believes will
not only do that, but can become the base technology for a practical and reduced
cost banks of data.......

RAINBOW TECHNOLOGY
Even in your wildest imagination, you would never have thought that you can
store data on ordinary paper or even plastic paper. Well, Sainul Abideen, a
final year MCA student of MES college of Engineering, Kuttipuram in Malapuram
district of Kerala has done just that. Yes, ordinary or plastic paper can be
used to store data, says Sainul who has named his invention Rainbow technology,
“My friend Neena Varghese suggested the name,” It is distinct for its large
storage capacity and cost-effectiveness. “High speed data storage and data
reading is possible, files in any format can be stored using this technology.”
