This. Exactly

I might add quantum computing to the list

If quantum computers ever come to fruition, the biggest challenge will be updating old encryption technology to be quantum secure.

It wont be, it wont be an issue at all because all of those systems are going to be open. It will be a huge diaster, its unavoidable and then we will move on.

to a degree but considering they cant stand up to current levels of access from bad actors, there have been countless examples of breaches in hospital systems and financial institutions. Once were on an entirely different platform of security itll be a free for all for a bit.

i want to see how quantum computer affects gaming. obviously they wont make gaming quantum computers but ive heard future computers might get like a quantum computer chip slot for their motherboard or something that could like help make the NPC's in your game more lifelike/reactive to your character, or affect random in game events or something like that, make game worlds more life like.

Quantum co-processor. I like it. Math coprocessors were a thing just before GPUs came along.
