I don’t think so. We’re entering a world of the internet of things, where more devices will communicate via cheapo low power chips based on the ARM architecture. Servers may also go ARM, using a fraction of the power; a tree hugger’s delight. You watch.

The first ‘quantum computer’ was just sold by a company called D-Wave to Lockheed Martin.

Well sort of. You read the comments and judge for yourself.
Is it a quantum computer in the sense of quantum physics? No. But it is a machine that lifts a radically different idea of computation from out of quantum physics that allows one to computer certain problems that are now immensely difficult with far greater ease.
