The above link contains a video and explanation of a new innovation that is in production by the companies IBM and 3M. The idea seems is that they will create a silicon substance that will allow them to stack computer chips together, creating an even faster microprocessor for today's computers. This could make computers 1000 times faster than they are now.
This is a good example of how new technology leads to more technology. The technology to develop the silicon layers for the chips has now led to a super computer. This seems like a good idea for large companies who use a large network which can be slowed down when hundreds of people are using the same connection. But why would anyone need a PC that has a microprocessor that is any faster than they are today? In my opinion this technology is not necessary. Computers are already fast enough for personal use. This would be a waste of time and money that IBM and 3M could be spending on something that could better benefit our society.

I agree with you Terminator that the ultimate computer is not necessary for personal reasons. Big companys and corporations i can understand why that would be beneficial. However unnecessary the ultimate computer is for personal use, the want and desire for one of these would be enormous. People want to be up to date and as technologically savvy as possible. If the demand is enormous, then the ultimate computer is necessary to satisfy the population.
