(The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001). What's umbrella got to do with holography? It is just a question of evolution in use... Consider a fascinating and well-established technology as holography (our "umbrella") employed since many years in the conventional field of data storage (the use against the "sun"). Such as umbrella was successfully introduced as repair agains
