There are quite a few smug replies to you, but my siblings are missing that the interesting thing about memristors is their potential for putting dynamically configurable computation (using implication logic) directly inside high density storage.

Taking advantage of such systems will not be business as usual, it'll look even more foreign to us than CUDA does to a Javascript developer.

Sure, you can use an interface and use them just like a regular storage device, but until and unless you can get the cost per bit below flash it's not interesting at all.

If that was all memristors could do, it's not even clear that they would be in active development - this is a moon shot by HP (no pun intended).
