Optical Chips

Optical Chips Coming in 5 Years...

After reading this article, it seems promising but there are always complications in some form or another. Every new design and gadget will usually promise this or that and come off as being a huge let-down to the masses. But I’ll give this discovery the benefit of a doubt.

They do admit that so far, there are complications with microphotonic devices and will be trying their best to fix the flaws that they have found. A few things to look forward to once the technology hits the stores is that with the new optical components in the computers, the computers should be faster in receiving signals. It would open up a whole new field of possible technology that could be created and discovered. With faster processing, people will hardly have to wait for pages to load and downloading files and whatnot can be faster than ever. Sweet! Movies, games, music… just think about it!

However, I doubt that this will come out in the five years that they say it will. There’s too much research that needs to be involved, trying to contain and integrate polarized light sounds difficult. It will probably come out, perhaps 8-10 more years rather than the five.

But when it does come out, I hope that I have enough money saved up to get myself one…
