Think about it this way....
Just think back how mankind, technology wise, progressed up until 1880..... It was for the most part pretty slow.
Although when Thomas Edison created the light bulb in 1880 that was a huge game changer. Then think of how we have progressed technology with in the last 134 years. What we have achieved in the last 134 years compare to all the time before that is quite remarkable technology speaking.
Well it’s about to happen again, but we will not have to wait that long (134 year). Technology is about how many transistors can you pack in microchip. Right now the iPhone 6 has 2 Billion Transistors in it. Think of each Transistor as a single job. So that means it can do up to 2 Billion jobs at 1 time.
When we make the Quantum jump in Microchips in 9 years, then everything will change very quickly. The number of Transistors is 2 to the 300th power or 1 Quadrillion (1000 Trillions) Transistors in the first generation chip.
To give you a scope of that. 1 Quantum chip could map our entire universe down to sub atomic particle. Just think every planet, every star, etc.... What would take today’s computers a 1000 years to figure out. With a quantum computer could figure it out in 1 day.
Now to put it in a better perspective....time. What we have accomplished over the last 50 years, technology wise, we will do that again in the first 5 years of the first generation Quantum chip. 5 years from the point what we accomplished over the last 50 years will be achieved in 3 months. I know that is hard to fathom right now, but Automation, Drones (not just for spying) and Robots will be the main driving force.
That’s not me saying that. This is Ray Kurzweil, Director of Engineering at Google who correctly predicted technology from 1999 to 2009, says we will reach what I’m talking about in 2029 or 15 years from now. It is called “The Singularity”, “Transcendence” or “Trans humanism”. Which is the merging of mankind and machine.
Not saying the technology will not be available, but technology and the ability either implement it properly or to make it affordable by the general public have always been on different timelines. I’m well aware of the history of technology and that’s why making predictions like that are usually, almost always, divergent from reality.
