Dear Yogis,

It’s Wednesday and this  (in the news lately) will not cheer you up.  Have you heard of QUANTUM COMPUTERS?   It’s a bit like Oppenheimer and the bomb.  He was on the spectrum and could only see the analytical conundrum he had to solve – he didn’t understand at all the human cost. He just could not understand.  That is exactly the problem we have here.  There may not be physical destruction, noise and firestorms, but this could be almost the same digitally.

Classic computers perform calculations using ones and zeros. Quantum computers use qubits, which are in a quantum state of both one and zero at the same time.  When such computer is perfected, (and clever males are working on them right now in fact firing one up in Sydney), CHAOS will be the result.  Once developers achieve error-corrected, large-scale quantum computing, quantum-powered hacking will become a reality, and those clever quantum developers are harvesting data now, knowing that when the computer is ready they will be able to unpack with ease things that are impossible now.

Imagine what will happen to the banking system, Government departments – and what about YOU when suddenly none of your data is secure. NONE OF IT.  Banking could be disrupted and accounts pilfered. Private messages, health records, government secrets hacked and exposed in seconds. Military plans, weapon design and classified intelligence from ASIO left ripe for the picking by anyone with access to the right quantum tools.

Unlike Y2K, we don’t have a time and date for when Q-Day will strike. Some predict it will come within 10 to 15 years.. Others reckon it will arrive much quicker as governments pour funds into the quantum.  I don’t have any clever suggestions, except to just buy a safe and hide spare CASH, DIAMONDS, GOLD in it.  It is about the only long term personal security available as far as I can see..  The mind boggles.

OPEN STUDIO (and STOCK ROOM BROCANTE SALE) – Friday 3rd May 5.30 to 7.30 and then Saturday 2.30 to 5pm

I have sooooo many ideas – I just want to keep on working but today I have to get the paintings ready for hanging, tomorrow hang and organise, and on Friday tart the exhibition up, add the labels, get the wine ready,  and wait for my clients to arrive!!! Then tomorrow I can start working on the next body of work – I have learned so much in the last year, and so much about myself….
