Killer Applications?

My friends the "killer applications" these days for the mass are GAMES! I love to play games and so are the rest of the kids. Games are becoming more complex and going toward 3D. That requires alot computational power, much more than spreadsheet and desktop publishing. Who cares about gene splicing, calculating the mass of the universe, or solving the bose-condensation temperature of a many body problem. PEOPLE WANT ENTERTAINMENT! They want to do things that require no thinkings. Why? Because thinking is a high energy state. NATURE including humans want to be in the ground-state. Thus computer for the mass is nothing more than entertainment. Playing games, surfing the net, and talking rubbish on stockchat are all entertainment which many including myself like to do. Thus we need more processing speed and more fun.
