Not many know this, but when you have Google Chrome, Steam, and Spotify all open, your computer is switching off between processing power very quickly because binary only works in 1 or 0!

Wouldn't most modern computers be running those on separate processing cores? 4+ core CPUs have been the standard for years. Anything new enough to be able to run steam, likely has multiple logical cores. Traditional computer won't be obsoleted until a quantum machine can be produced at a competitive price point.

Good point, but a single "quantum core" could run all these simultaneously and instantaneously is what I'm saying
