Be mindful that this is just the communications aspect of processing. This is just allowing for faster interconnects on systems like mainframes or large-scale farms like Amazon uses for the cloud. This allows high availability clustering on a much larger scale thanks to a break in latency times.
The ability to store, read, and write data is only indirectly affected by this. Storage and data processing still has a long way to go to make any real large-scale use of the data they’re collecting. There’s still “anonymity through sheer volume of data.”
