The next step in the internet and AI will be electro-optical circuitry. U.S. Developed polymers will start to be used and result in less heating, faster speed, lower cost, no need to use copper cables, can use fiber optic.

I have no doubt that fiber will succeed copper. We did that already in telco switching a long time ago. My point is that money is being spent now on hardware that will be obsolete before it can generate revenue that will repay the investment.

Clif High offered up a prospect that we will get to biological compute engines that have more capability with much lower need for power and cooling. The concern about power, water and heat would go away.
