That was mind-blowing. Thank you for sharing. 

I understood some of it, as I'm not a electrical engineer. But I retained enough (perhaps) to get a sense of the possibilities, which are potentially life-altering.

If power requirements were no longer the primary impediment to scalability of such powerful optical memory processors, then the world may change very quickly, in every conceivable way.     
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
