Quantum Computers

From the famous Relativity of Einstein, we know that nothing can beat the speed of light.
Ever imagined that computing speed will reach the speed of light someday in the future.
HOW?
well, lets just remove the idea of representing data using 0's& 1's (or voltages in general) from our minds, since this would become a history one day.
Using light to transmit data isnt a new thing at all..what we are talking about here is STORING data using light! u might ask : how would we KEEP or STORE the light, shall we FREEZE it?
(loud laugh!)
But that's it! its true! see how to reduce the speed of light to a halting point!! :

There would not a better place to place a brief note on the biocomputers than this one, as we are talking about computing frontiers

I saw a Tv show about storing data in d shape of light.
one of the ideas was you could store ahuge amount of data in our standards. in a tiny spec, such as a mach head
