...got me thinking that perhaps encrypting everything coming in and out of our computers might start to use up 128 cores that we should have in the next decade or so.

What are applications that you can see occurring in 10 years that are impossible right now because we have a measly 2-4 cores on our desktops? What would you love to see?
