Quantum computing will only be useful to a handful of people instead of mass consumer use. Quantum computers are mainly for cybersecurity.
Quantum processors are already a thing. I dont think we'll see quantum powered consumer products for a while but I think they will eliminate the need for massive data centres and should be way better for the environment.
Or ever. Quantum processors have to operate close to 0k to work
Idk, Miles Dyson was able to engineer a neural-net processor with room temperature superconductors all the way back in 1995...
