   "Detailed tests showed the new batteries hold five times as 
    much energy as conventional quick-discharging devices called 
    capacitors do, and they deliver that power 10 times as quickly 
    as conventional lithium ion batteries can."

   "Every time you add an electron or other object to a quantum 
    problem, the complexity of the problem doubles," says James 
    Whitfield, a graduate student at Harvard. "The great thing
    is that every time you add a qubit to the computer, its 
    power doubles too."

Professor Aspuru-Guzik says, "a computer of 'only' 150 qubits or so would have more computing power than all the supercomputers in the world today, combined."

   Reading... "Personal nanofactories promise an end to poverty, war"

Dick Pelletier's personal nanofactories (PNs) posting starts with the following.

   "Imagine a world with billions of desktop-size, nonpolluting, 
    cheap machines that can manufacture almost anything -- clothing, 
    furniture, electronics, cars, even food."

Near the end of his nanofactories (PNs) posting Dick Pelletier wrote.

   "General-purpose molecular manufacturing with PNs appears 
    to be inevitable. It could become reality as early as 2020, 
    and certainly should happen by 2025."

I'm not sure about 2020, but I am a bit more comfortable with 2025. In a nutshell: I cannot place a timeline on when future technologies will become part of everyday lives.

If only I knew the answer!

Just like Dick Pelletier, I too "think molecular nanotech represents a major milestone in achieving our 'magical future' and I only hope that biotech miracles expected in the 2010s will materialize in time to keep my body healthy so that I personally can enjoy this wonder time."

Note: I think Dick was 79 years of age when he posed his molecular nanotech question.
