Gary, that's interesting what you said about the crash noise of the older hard drives.
I reckon the difference could be even greater, especially if they get quantum computers working. I forget the exact comparison I read the other day but it would be something like the entire internet's storage on something you carry in your pocket. Processing speeds many orders of magnitude faster than what we have are expected.

But will it make us happy? Will idiots stop shooting each other? Will (to borrow from Bob Marley) the colour of a man's skin be of as little consequence as the colour of his eyes? Now that would be progress.
