Makes me wonder what form the data will be in... A data-shard?
Do you know how USB sticks work? They include a (often ARM) general purpose processor. That does 'wear leveling', to maximise the number of write-cycles the thing can survive. Now, processor plus writable memory, plus access modes (manufacturer testing?) to the storage device that allow altering the code it runs... Don't believe me? Some USB sticks, distributed free, start-up a web-browser, to display their company web-page. Some can impersonate a mouse and keyboard.
I wonder how data-shards work...
Shards also seem to run programs on insertion at times, so it's probably the same deal.
