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
