Optical Computing
Optical Computing is potentially one of the greatest breakthroughs in computer technology. It would allow for an insane amount more information to be sent at greatly insane speeds. It will no doubt replace our current computers.

Well, it'll severely kill out the competition who doesn't have this capability. I sure as heck hope Valve gets ahold of it before it's too late.
I'm sure they'll make use of it when the time comes. But it's more up to the manufacturers to get their act in gear than for Vavle to get theirs in.
It may not come for a while yet. But it WILL no doubt come in continual upgrades. One thing updated while another thing is updated 6 months later and so-on until the silly public realize, "Oh, hey, this is better than what he have been using all along; why don't we use it for everything?" But until that happens it'll just be some sort of new technology. You see, people just don't understand the specifics. If we told them about it now they'd prolly just freak out about it and it'd take even longer for them to get use to it. Too drastic of a change is not what they're use to; but it should be. Silly Simpletons. :P
The world around us is full of those who think too little, do not expand on their everyday life, do not try new things unless forced. They are going in circles while the truly intelligent ones are thinking, planning, sketching, building, programming, mapping, and experimenting. We all need to learn from people like them instead of other people in society.
Here are a few quotes by one of the most advanced people on Earth: Albert Einstein.
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

Here are some more from Nikola Tesla.
“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”
“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.”
“The practical success of an idea, irrespective of its inherent merit, is dependent on the attitude of the contemporaries. If timely it is quickly adopted; if not, it is apt to fare like a sprout lured out of the ground by warm sunshine, only to be injured and retarded in its growth by the succeeding frost.”
"The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.”
“Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.”

What affects will this have on the gaming world...I don't think Nick and Al answered that question very well. But good try. ;P
