Flash memory: Computer memory began as large magnetic drums and shrunk to core memory and sold-state memory. Fujio Masuoka invented flash memory at Toshiba in 1981 after working to improve the performance of EEEPROM. Flash is dense, reads and writes quickly, and is resistant to environmental shock. Intel began manufacturing flash memory chips in 1988, and several competing consumer formats emerged by the mid-1990s. Flash memory drives the modern electronics world: MP3 players, Cell phones, Computer hard drives, and many more.
