The major problem with processing all that data right
now is it's quite 
slow. Quantum makes data processing instantaneous,
viz. computers will 
soon work *much* faster than the speed of human
thought. So 
technically, 
they'll know what you're doing before you do.
Brilliant!

reminds me of this feature:

 "How frightened would you be if you were secretly
planning to get pregnant, without telling your
husband, and discovered that someone had written to
him telling him about it? Or, put the other way, how
would you feel if you discovered your wife was
pregnant only when someone dropped you a letter?"

all the best
