Good points. It’s hard to predict where these QC developments will lead.
One little aside, John Ambrose Fleming[1] is credited for inventing the first electronic tube (a vacuum tube based diode) around 1904 that initiated the development of modern (tube based) electronics.
However, the work at Thomas Edison’s laboratories in previous decades on the electric light bulb were almost certainly important prerequisites to Fleming’s work. He even worked for Edison for a period of time.
