How Fast Can a Computer Get?

Computers are all around us in everything from watches to workstations but how fast can they get?

The human brain had a good run perfect ending... Who's up for digitizing brains!

Awesome video. I really like the type of "How can get?" Videos. I can really tell that a lot of thought, research and effort went into these videos. It may consume a LOT of time to make these videos, but I soul like of you did more of these. Here are some ideas to get you started:
How integral will tech become?
Can we live without computers?
What tech companies are here to stay?

Hopefully that will give you a little bit of help to get the ball rolling. Like I said, I love to see these types of videos, and I will say you are one of my favorite youtubers!
Sorry for the novel I left you!

Have the quantum computer solve the problems that engineers have. Teach the computer to improve itself.

If you have ever seen the film Iron Sky, you know that Smart Phone reference at the end is true.

I love your videos but they're too short which results in a lack of depth, they're far too brief.

"Here, I have one of the most powerful CPUs available right now--" *video buffers*
That made me chuckle. :)

Austin, quantum computers aren't cooled to be kept stable, but to be possible. Supercooling the wires is necessary for them to act as superconductors and many phenomena necessary for quantum computing are in need of super cooling. The working components barely generate any heat, the biggest part is always the cooling system.

I can't "like" YouTube videos for some freaky reason which i can't figure out how to mend on Safari… but I've just got to say Austin, your latest videos are superb in quality and watchability. Thank you

[fearnolol]

Interesting never seen a video like this before

[IAMMUSIC]

I just can't get over how professional your videos are

[grmancool]

It's impossible for the most powerful computer to be the size of a smartphone. If you can build something powerful the size of a smartphone, then you can build something even more powerful the size of a football field. Period.

These types of videos are exactly why I enjoy Austin's work the most. Not saying other YT channels are bad, just that this is my favourite channel.
Keep it up, Austin!

"The human brain had a good run" GOLD

[samtherat]

The first publicly available quantum computer...LOL bye-bye security.

[Adam-qyyc]

Dude, do more of this educational stuff, you're great at it.

[Fennoman]

Very cool, interesting to see you branch out to a different style of video completely, I like it!

Also, really nice video. Had a bit of that Vsauce-vibe to it :-)

[erenoztorun]

It's incredible how fast computers are evolving. Great video Austin!

[harpershaw]

not gonna lie "the human brain had a good run" sounded so badass

[souljsli]

Actually, I stopped watching your channel like a year ago due to the lack of good content and overall generic videos. I stumbled on this and I was astonished to say the least. It's obvious, you have grown in every aspect and became more focused into distinguishing your self from the rest . Subscribed again, an keep up the good work.

What do you mean "the human brain had a good run" ? The human brain created this stuff, the human brain knows the weakness of these things, the human brain knows how to counter everything the robot can do.
