The Future Of Our Computer Technology

BY KATHERINE ROBLES

Future Technology

• Technology is advancing at a quick pace

• Computers become more powerful that they will eventually revolutionize humanity

Here, we will be learning about Quantum Computers & nanotechnology

What are Quantum Computers?• Computers that can make direct use of

distinctively quantum mechanical phenomena to perform operations on data.

Quantum Computer Components

• Qubits or quantum bit- enables you to manipulate 2+ values at the same time

• Microprocessor to store information

• Photons (lasers) for fast & long distance interactions

How Good Are They?

• So fast & Reliable they can compute long problems at a fast rate

How Good Are They? (Cont.)If compared to classical computers, Quantum computers can calculate, sort, find, & store information more efficiently than the average classical computer.

When will we get there?Scientists aren’t sure when we will find the key to these computers, but they estimate that we will begin the Quantum Era in about 2 decades.

Scientist are still experimenting with Phorons & the Quantum world itself

Nanotechnology

• Work In More Extreme Climates• Will eventually make computers & robots reduce to

subatomic size • Will eventually have medical, environmental, & scientific

uses• Will help give rise to genetic therapies, antiaging

treatments, & other uses such as communication

Nanotechnology vs. Classical Has subatomic compact

electronics

Will benefit every industrial sector and health care field.

Should also help the environment through more efficient use of resources & better methods of pollution control.

Average-size compact electronics

Not as beneficial for every industrial & health care

Not so efficient for helping environment uses & pollution control

When will we get there?

• Scientist estimate that we should get this type of technology in a decade.

• Scientists are still studying & experimenting with nanotechnology
