Question

Select the statements that are true regarding the future of technology. Select 2 options.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Quantum computers are currently being built by Google and IBM, and will be available to the public in 2021.

• Biocomputing can involve the use of biological components, like DNA, to store and process data.

Explanation:

Quantum computers make use of quantum processes like superposition to perform computation which make them exponentially faster and more powerful than normal classic computers.

Leading the way to develop quantum computers that will be available to the public are Google and IBM with IBM having confirmed in September 2020 that they already have a 65 qubits quantum computer which should be public by 2021.

Biocomputing is also another exciting future prospect in computer technology. It involves the use of biological components like DNA and proteins to store and process data. It is believed that with further work in this field, biocomputers will be able to perform computations many times faster than the traditional computer.
