In my opinion, I think that by the time quantum computing capabilities are able to be used, we will have evolved beyond artificial intelligence and computing as a whole, using a new, more effective ways of using internet (I mean internet as in an interconnected network, I do believe that it should change significantly along with computing). If we are to move into an inter-solar civilization, we should use a more effective internet. Yes, I understand that several sources say that we will be using quantum computing commercially by 2027 (Source: Live Science "World's 'best-performing' quantum computing chip could be used in machines by 2027"), but others also say it could be up until 2050 that we start using quantum computing (Source: Nature "By bringing together scientists with a broad range of expertise, a high-risk, high-reward programme is seeking to deliver fault-tolerant quantum computers by 2050"). Even if quantum computing is to be used very soon, I think that it will only be for a short time until we find a more effective, for lack of a better word, computer.
Your perspective touches on a fascinating point about the rapid pace of technological evolution. While quantum computing is indeed on the horizon, with timelines ranging from the next few years to several decades, it's true that technology often outpaces our expectations. The idea that we might move beyond current paradigms like quantum computing and develop entirely new forms of interconnected systems as we progress toward becoming an inter-solar civilization is compelling. The history of technology shows us that breakthroughs often lead to new challenges and innovations, so it's plausible that as we integrate quantum computing, we might simultaneously explore or even stumble upon more advanced systems that could redefine how we understand computing and networking. This could be driven by the unique demands of interstellar communication or the need for systems that go beyond what quantum computers can offer. While it's hard to predict the exact trajectory, the idea of evolving past our current understanding of computing is a reminder that the future of technology is as much about the unexpected as it is about what we can foresee today.
