It's very exciting to hear about quantum computer development. There's a certain level of anxiety I feel when I think about how much of an impact this will have on the world when it's finished. Our understanding about medicine, biology, and physics could be dramatically different in 25 years.

I wonder if people felt this way in the 1960's as modern computers were evolving to become more and more practical. No one really knew the impact they would have on the world. Who would have thought that everyone would have a mini super computer in their homes that could reach out and communicate with anyone anywhere on earth?

Who would have thought that everyone would have a mini super computer in their homes*** that could reach out and communicate with (almost) anyone anywhere on earth?
