In the reproduction technologies, todays so called Full HD – Full High Definition (1920×1080, 7.1 audio reproduction, 24fps) will soon become obsolete by the new technology of UHDV – Ultra High Definition Video (7680×4320, 22.2 audio reproduction, 60fps) [1]. The UHDV prototype format currently proposed by NHK (Japan), BBC (UK/GB), and RAI (Italy). Thus the certainty of this technology will stand against the test of time is unpredictable since human is keep looking to far beyond future in reproduction technology that incorporates materialisation of reproduced holographic images, which will incorporate both spatial and temporal properties in light and quantum technologies. Even the sound reproduction is treated equally as well in both spatial and temporal domains.

The data size of UHDV [2] is about 194GB/min for uncompressed footage with 22.2 audio channels. If the MPEG-2 compression is used, the UHDV data size will somewhat 6GB/min. This means that the future high-definition recordings require extremely high capacity storage media.

As February 2006 [3], there are 19 prestigeous companies forming a Holographic Versetile Disc (HVD) forum to incorporate holographic properties in storage media, enable data storing up to 3.9TB (theoritically). The technique is to record the data in three-dimension compares with conventional consumer optical storage media that store the data in two-dimension.

However, the technology will never stop. The 50TB or up to 240TB optical storage is emerging at the horizon, called Protein Coated Disc (PCD) [4]. Although the current work is theoritically developed by Professor Venkatesan Renugopalakrishnan, PCD gives breaktrhough in extremely high capacity optical storage technologies. The PCD incorporate light-sensitive protein from genetically altered microbe. The challenge is to store data in various light response of the light-sensitive protein.

In comparison, the following are the list of 120mm optical storage media:
- Compact Disc
Digital Audio, Data, Kodak PhotoCD, Phillips CD-I, HDCD, and VideoCD
80min of uncompressed audio (44.1KHz, 16 bit) or 700MB data
- DVD
DVD Video, DVD Audio, SACD
4.7GB Single Layer, or 9.4GB Dual Layer
- HD-DVD
Video
15GB Single Layer, or 30GB Dual Layer
- BluRay
Video or data
25GB Single Layer, or 50GB Dual Layer
- HVD
Video or data
3.9TB
- PCD
Video or data
50TB or up to 240TB

In conclusion, audio and video recordings and reproductions technology never stop and always try to break the furthest horizons. No matter how theoritically the technology will be, it will always be consumerised, and the life expectancies of current technologies will always be shorter. Both consumers and producers will always be shaped from time to time to cope with the new technologies in the edge of the known horizons. Those who already collected VCD will change to DVD, to BluRay, and more to come.

It is important to understand that it is better for the children to get the best out of their parents NOT to get what is the best that the children can get. Parents has experiences that are essentials in this life, the value of life, that is one “the best out of their parents” thing among the others that the children must inherit. The other thing is the attention from the parents, the parents’s time for their children. Let the children experience to the very bone of their being that the children are extremely important for their parents, by this, they will realize that they presence in this world and in certain time-frame of their life, is so meaningful for the world the same as they are so meaningful to their parents.

By telling words from the stories to the children, parents are enriching their children’s vocabularies, triggering their children’s curiosities (let the children ask the strange words for them, and let the parents explaining with patience), expanding their children’s awareness of their surrounding (time, space, objects, interactions, and atmosphere). This long-process will prepare their children when they will be introduced to the world of literacy (academic, mostly). Their children will easily recognize the materials they will read to comprehend by easily determine the sections in the reading materials such as, initial situation, the building block of current situation in the stories, elements that cause the problem, hypothesis process, methodology and approaches used, solution process, then conclusion.

In conclusion, all the process that looks like seemingly useless for some parents, in turn, to be the most important process in the development of their children. It is the very being of the parents that MUST be inherited to their children, that no-one in this world and this universe can replace them. It is the parents responsibility to shape their children into the being that will bless the world in their generation, in their time-space. Whenever the parents refuse to being there in the development process of their children, someone elses will replace their absence, and more to it, will enter phylosphy that will be considered “alien” to their parents.
