You know every LCBM and ICBM they launch that blows up and gets lost, every rocket that goes to mars and commits suicide, every computer that crashes. I feel a little safe that a long range nuke has no chance in hell of hitting me.
Yes I understand that but the laser emitters still have to be fed with electricity. The holographic storage system still needs aluminum or copper leeds feeding it. EMR builds in those wires, transfering to - and thus frying - the laser optical emitters or whatever. there will still be a danger of EMR until there is not metal components transferring electricity in a computer.
If you wish to survive with this superconductor technology, we the Zulus require delivery of these secrets immediately. If you refuse, prepare for our invasion.

As electrons flow through a metal wire they collide with the atoms in the wire - causing heat and the need for higher energy needs. Photon transmission is done in a vacuum which would cause neligible collisions.

Well the optics of course would not be susceptible to EMR but the rest of the computer would still be plain old aluminum wiring. Thus there it is still susceptible to EMR.

How can one make intelligent policy decisions if with an awareness of conscequences.
