"active cabling" there isn't really any photonics outside the lab yet, but<br>
we'll probably all have photonic interconnects in a decade or two.<br>

I haven't heard anything about optical transistors. Why would they be a good<br>
thing?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In my science fiction world they would be wonderful. But, your above statements shatters my argument. I guess it really does depend upon transmit time of photon vs. electron in such a short space... I don't actually know what that is.. so, maybe it wouldn't be wonderful at all..</div>
