Default The next step "Fiber Optic"

I just had to post that I read the other day that Intel has already begun development of a Fiberoptic Mobo and Cpu.  
They estimate that not only will it run at an unnaturally low temp but also average out at about 10GB processor speed right in the beginning.

I really hope I dont get hit by a bus or die in some other way before the new computer revolution hits.

(Quote from intel site.)
We’re looking into faster
ways of moving data within a chip, between
chips, between chips and devices, and
between systems and subsystems in different
chassis. Probably the area with the greatest
potential for a quantum performance leap is
optical signaling at the micro level. We’re
researching building lasers into silicon to
move data between chips and devices at
fiber optic speeds,
