Kind of reminds me how in the 50’s everything was supposed to be nuclear. Cars, refrigerators, jukeboxes, etc.

I mean it wasn’t a terrible idea. Couldn’t an iPhone have a few thousand nuclear atoms, and it could be powered without ever charging by their natural decay? I can see why everyone thought stuff like nuclear power would be everywhere.

But obviously we became more aware of the risks and that never wound up happening.

Will this happen with computers? Will one day the computing industry be as in bad shape (and as closely regulated) as the nuclear industry?
