Predict global warming Armageddon a million times faster than today's computers and conclusively prove the only way to stop it is Marxism.
Seriously, improved oil exploration; safer cars; new material designs; new pharmaceuticals; improved disease diagnoses; more efficient engines, human-like robots...you name it. Computing power, storage, and network speeds all put limits on human ingenuity. New uses pop up very quickly.
the first answer was hysterical. The second answer was very informative. Thanks :)

Faster computers will facilitate more poorly written code. Code could become a million times less time efficient and we’d never notice.
