What will be even better is when the research into achieving the superconductivity effect at room temperatures moves from being a laboratory curiosity into commercial products, because then you don't need enormous energy to keep components near absolute zero temperature. I remember reading about IBM's research into this area also, probably in the early to mid-1980s.
