So supercomputers depend on superconducting materials which in turn depend on super low temperatures at or near 0K (at least currently). The theory is that once we crack the supercomputer nut we could potentially use it to predict a method of creating superconductors that function at room temperature. That means we can create supercomputers that could potentially sit on your desk top. It's the 1970's again 😄

The word Singularity is to technology as the word Utopia is to society. Additionally, society and technology are inseparable. An absolute Utopia will never exist, likewise the Singularity is not an end, it's simply a new plateau. Once we reach the Singularity the world will be profoundly different, we'll be at whole new level of existence. Issues of health, poverty, politics, etcetera will be gone but we'll face a whole new set of challenges.
