Technologies for adding computational ability to memory devices without changing media layers include a process for the manufacture of a memory device. The process includes obtaining a memory media capable of communicating with multiple different types of media access circuitries through a set of communication paths at predefined locations. The process also includes obtaining a media access circuitry capable of communicating with the memory media through the communication paths at the predefined locations and connecting the obtained memory media to the obtained media access circuitry to enable communication through the communication paths at the predefined locations.
