Hi-Speed Internet pays for itself

It’s true, many hi-speed internet users are saving money, by paying for broadband internet access like Comcast and Time Warner. How is that possible? Thing about all of the things you can do with broadband, that you just couldn’t do with dial-up. Have you tried voice over IP? There is literally no reason to use a landline phone, when you can talk to someone over the hi-speed line, with video.

How about renting movies? Why waste gas driving to the video store, when you can rent movies online and have them digitally delivered to your home pc. Lately many people have stopped driving into work to sit in front of a computer, when they can simply sit in front of a computer and work from home. The savings and benefits to having hi-speed internet really add up quickly.

On the topic of fast computing – Quantum Computers

Since we are on the topic of fast computers and ultra fast ISP’s we might as well define and shed some light on what a quantum computer is. A quantum computer processes information through atoms and molecules vs. the traditional silicon-based PCs we know today. Quantum computers already exist, but have not been commercialized into what we would consider a practical system.

The only non-tech way to explain how this works is by discussing the old binary system. A square could only hold a value of 1 or 0. In a quantum environment, there could be values of 1 or 0 and all points in between 1 and 0.
