Quantum computing is so far away we'll be old and gray before we see what it can really do. It's going to be pointless for consumers, not to mention the cost would be more that 99 percent of the population could afford. But the idea behind what they could be is pretty scary, if you stop to think about it. Skynet? Maybe, more government control, definitely. Quantum physic it's self opens the doors to what we think about today as impossible. Teleportation, folding space and time, Extra dimensions, can you imagine they could be hundreds of copies of your self, unaware of each other? Head explodes! |
doubt we'll wait that long... first vacum tube transistor was in 1907 i believe look where we are now.... we live in exponential times my friend....

Yeh I was reading up at Howstuffworks site and came across this
" Will we ever have the amount of computing power we need or want? If, asMoore's Law states, the number of transistors on a microprocessorcontinues to double every 18 months, the year 2020 or 2030 will find the circuits on a microprocessor measured on an atomic scale. And the logical next step will be to create quantum computers, which will harness the power of atoms and molecules to perform memory and processing tasks. "
