1. A data storage system comprising:
- (a) a housing containing;
a memory for storing digital data words;
photoelectric means receptive of light energy for producing an electric signal;
memory control means responsive to the electric signal for sequentially reading data words out of the memory; and
display means receptive of the data words sequentially read out of the memory for displaying each data word as a bar code; and
(b) means for applying light energy to the photoelectric means for effecting the sequential reading of stored data words and including means for reading the bar codes displayed by the display means.
