So... who benefits from cheap transistors? I also try to think who is going to benefit from faster chips. Most of your responses were for future uses of basic applications of chips so I don't see who benefits besides the end user. I think what you want to know is who is going to be the next INTC or MSFT. To answer your question I think you need to look at what products are currently too costly for mass markets. Also, what applications requires a lot of processing power. So you have to ask yourself what are supercomputers doing now that J6P would want to do? What military applications will move to the private sector? I could see car navigation systems that avoids accidents or drives the car themselves. Anything that requires real time analysis of the environment and calculations of moving objects. I've heard a lot of wireless networking is becoming possible as chips for processing higher frequency becomes cheaper and integrated. Satellite applications should also get much better
