Quantum computing. The nuclear fusion of computers. I wonder how long they will be 10 years away.

Quantum computing is nothing like fusion, it's been working for 20 years, just at smaller scales.

A better comparison would be graphene. Graphene exists, we can make it, just not much of it. It won't change everything until we can mass produce it.

Fusion just plain doesn't work (for generating energy) in practice yet.
