Just like in the 1970s and 80s when we first heard about this coming "internet" thing, there was no way any of us could have predicted the far-reaching impact it would have on our lives.... same with Quantum Internet. I don't pretend to fully understand how it works, but having read several articles on it and still not being fully informed (Quantum computing is a strange and spooky concept), none of us can predict what the future will look like.

Decades ago there was a cutting-edge movie called "Forbidden Planet." Based loosely on Shakespeare's "The Tempest", it had at the time a lot of special effects and concepts that today we would find quaint and laughable. As good as it was in 1956, they could not have predicted transistors, wireless comms, and computing as we know it today.

Same with Quantum Internet... Today we're living in a "Forbidden Planet" world with clunky technology that too often doesn't work and we can't imagine how this will change our lives. Interesting, OP, thanks.

Funny, because some prophecies say that God will be with us soon, and that He will be with us forever [and "death itself will be abolished"].

He comes with Quantum Internet ? :D
