Brace yourself for 'Q-Day,' a global cybersecurity event

[DontTreadOnMe]

Everyday we hear new Brave New World kind of headlines.  Multi-front bubble to burst.  Digital currency to replace all cash.  15 minute cities.  EV cars will replace ICE cars....and with it the freedom to go large distances in a short time privately.  One World Government.  The USA Uniparty.

Here's a new one for me.
Brace yourself for 'Q-Day,' a global cybersecurity event that could expose our most important secrets

I hope that date 2025 is wrong.  Put it out 50 years and most of us will miss the horror of loss of encryption on our computers....and end privacy in our lives.

When the technology gets there, though, it's "likely to be as transformational in the 21st century as harnessing electricity as a resource was in the 19th century," Michael Biercuk, the founder and CEO of quantum tech company Q-CTRL, told Reuters. 
So global superpowers like the United States and China are pouring tons of money into quantum research ahead of Q-Day. With companies like IBM, Amazon, Intel, Google, and more building quantum processors, North America is widely seen as the leader in quantum computing development. In 2022, the United States invested $1.8 billion into quantum research, while Canada committed an additional $100 million, according to estimates from consulting firm McKinsey & Company.

And, of course, any time I see the name McKinsey, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling of security.    /s
