Hello, I have a question for you: Please read this New research that lights the way to super-fast computers: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141107091447.htm My question is this: Since this new research will improve the speed of memory and processor by much, so this will enhance the speed of serial programs by much, and this will enhance the speed of parallel programs by much, so why then must we optimize all our softwares to be more scalable or faster ? because since the hardware will become super fast in one decade from now, so i don't think all our software needs to be more scalable or even faster, because this super fast speed of the future hardware that will come in about one decade from now, will be enough for many applications. Thank you, Amine Moulay Ramdane.

Because "about a decade away" is not "actually here and practically usable," and there's no guarantee that it ever will be (quantum computing has been "just around the corner" for *how* many decades, now?) Also, because lazy, sloppy coding is a terrific way to *waste* all that increased horsepower (it's one of the primary reasons why our computers today aren't really hundreds of times more responsive than they were fifteen years ago, despite benchmarking at hundreds of times the horsepower than computers from that time.)

Us programmers can simply adapt to the system. I do not see a problem here.
