Default SuperConductor Future?

Do you Expect That SuperConductor Will play a main Role in Electronics
in Next years.
If Yes what are the main usage will be.
Thanks For all.

Predicting the future is fraught with dispair , what often may be the best method or system is not allways implemented , market forces have a lot to answer for. For those of us old enough to recall the battle of VHS versus Betamax , are quietly booking front row seats and ordering popcorn for the upcoming spectacle of the next generation of DVD formats , of course if thats not quite your flavour watch out for holographic hard drives...

Anyhow I digress , back to superconductors.
Computers are the main focus of research, the lack of electrical resistance will enable more transistors to be packed into a smaller space without heat build up destroying them the moment you switch on.

It should be noted that this is but one avenue of research , on the one hand we have groups trying to develop viable "room temperature" super - semiconductors and on the other we have those working on semiconductors whose melting points far exceed those in use today,
the result > > chips would offer identical perfomance yet using two different systems... hmm this sounds awfully familiar

If a superconductor that can operate at room temperature is indeed invented, and it is cheap enough to produce, I would imagine that it would eventually replace just about all copper. Everything would increase in efficiency- motors, power lines, generators, radio equipment, etc etc.

:P I'm pretty sure that the superconductor for room temperature will be invented during the winter somewhere in Siberia :P

now thats being realistic mcs51mc
it would be nice though
