Moore's Law states that technoology will double in speed and be half the price. At the moment, it would be astounding to have a processor that clock in at 10 GHz (1,000,000,000 hertz, so what if you were to hear of the possibility 100 THz (100,000,000,000,000 hertz)? It would be impossible to imagine the capabilities of the integrated circuit. But, it may be well on it's way into our society.
The so-called photonic crystals and quazicrystals are believed to contain characteristics to build ultra-fast optical components which would run the ultra-fast operating engines. The optical communication characteristics promis much more control over the electron flow in semiconductors (tiny transistors that can function in on/off gates that move electric information) by the photonic crystal structure.
The certainty of photonic-crystals circuits and devices looks promising. You may even begin seeing computers with a minimum requirement of 5 or 6 Terahertz creeping dropped on the market. As an optical-fibre network, you can imagine your network cable or computer connection devices to be running photonic-crystal circuits rather than silicon circuits, the creation of valuable, synthetic jewelry, and anti-counterfeit systems on identification/credit cards.
