Imagine all that copper cabling replaced with high speed optic fibre. Intel have announced chips that can do just that - with 4 light sources capable of 50 Gpbs transfer.
Light is a wonderful medium as it's not affected by electromagnetic interference, unlike traditional copper cables which carry electric current.
By adding more light sources this technology can scale into the Terabit/second range towards truly high-speed computing.
