It's very likely flash memory or another form of it (with no moving parts, unlike hard drives) will replace hard drives in the future, with advancements in memory capacities and decreasing costs. The aspect of no moving parts allows greater portability, endurance to movement (that's why your iPod nano has a flash memory) and no 'mechanical failures'.
However, flash memory at the moment (as flash drives) is up against a wall in the area of memory. This might be overcome with 'sideways' development' or another form of better, non-mechanical memory.
