College Student Develops Paper-Based Storage System

According to The Register, 24-year old Sainul Abideen has developed a paper-based storage system that is "one tenth of the cost of a CD, he claims, while offering 131 times the storage capacity)."
From the sound of it, the system appears to be somewhat similar to QR Codes and other newfangled bar code-type technologies currently in use in parts of the world other than here, but Abideen's "Rainbow Versitile Disc" can apparently store far more amounts of data than those -- between 90 and 450GB

Useful for static data, but what happens when you need to edit something? I see high sales ahead for the scissors, tape, and glue industries if this takes off.

@Brian, What makes you say this does not seem useful? Any invention is good, at least he thought beyond zeros and ones.

Are you kidding me? This is great! For example it could reduce IT costs exponentially. Rather than Tape-backup of drives it they could just print out a copy of the drives every hour or two - constant protection against failure!

[...] Un estudiante de Ingeniería de la India desarrolló un nuevo método por el cual se pueden almacenar hasta 256MB de información en una simple hoja de papel, un descubrimiento que permitirá ahorrar dinero así como ayudará a la ecología. El joven de 24 años, llamado Sainul Abideen, utilizó cuadrados coloreados como ceros y unos, logrando guardar 256MB de datos comprimidos que luego se pudieron extraer en un DVD, representando un tamaño total de 450MB, una décima parte de un DVD.
