supposedly, the next step is into fiber & optics.

but I generally agree, people put a lot of faith in the exponential leaps vs the exponential space.

You tell them we're not living on mars any time soon and they'll bring up christopher columbus.

How would fiber and optics help if the bottleneck is computation efficiency and not data transfer?
the optics are doing the gates. literally, shine a light down a path and uts doing calcs.
