Google, Microsoft, IBM. The biggest tech companies in the world are all quietly preparing for a single threat. One that could crumble the entire digital infrastructure we’ve built for the past 70 years.
The Q-day, as experts call it, is the day when quantum computers are finally unleashed and they break every form of encryption we’ve ever developed. The day when digital computing comes to an abrupt end. Is this threat even real? And if it is, is there anything we can do to stop it?

The ultimate irony of the quantum age is that the final line of defense against the most complex, multi-billion-dollar computing technology ever created is incredibly low-tech: it is the quiet, deliberate human choice to pause, doubt our own biases, and think critically before we react. A new cyber frontier is Cognitive Security, but how to protect what is presently sparse in the collective? Implementing asymmetric, structural, and behavioral defences for our most vulnerable asset — the human mind. Will it happen, or do we swipe left?

I call your quantum computer a moonshine still running in circles… maybe you'll finally manage to see Truman escaping from it… oh, your true academic masks.

That thing about buying computing power instead of buying computer hardware makes sense now. Games and other emerging applications might require so much processing power that a personal machine simply can’t handle them, so we’ll stream the results to our screens while the actual computing happens on one of those supercomputers. Owning a personal PC might eventually become an outdated, tinfoil-hat kind of thing.

In terms of the bigger picture, it really doesn't matter whatever new technology is going to emerge as long as we embrace it as a collective species instead of fragmented tribes. If we were united against entropy as a species in the first place we would've never needed encryption or cryptography or any secrets at all to keep from our own peers, our own kind. The innovation that is happening in the far east right now is no less important than the foundation that has already been built in the west. The biggest problem, therefore, is not tech but our own mindset – because at the end of the day the irrefutable truth is that there's only one race which is human race – and there's only one Earth which is this world.

Yes 72 got me listening to in the morning I was angry even but Gods told me don’t except this message it is iluzion Highs so this is not Good For people but Good for some needs Different approach so this is your problems to serve
Long to explain brings good and bad so needs balance other wise more problems
That is it enough for today I am tired
To much Energy invested by My Gods in me

Its bogus, 0 chance we have Energy required to run Fully operational quantum computer that will be tapping to all its possible itterations across all timelines and Universes.

That's how we erase history. Technologies break down faster etc. Just as our ancestors did. Technology will corrupt and destroy faster than any human would and could. Poverty is first step for Technology for most that loose jobs. Problem is, humans created it.
