Oh, I think most here will agree with that.

But the development needs to be driven by the application needs, top-
down, not from the hardware side, bottom-up.

The real lack, both in people, interest and policy, is in interdisciplinary
research. Look at who gets tenured professorships and grants, and who
doesn't. Science is turning ever more fractionated and isolationistic.
(Yes, there's lot of talk, but the actions show clearly that the talk is
just facade.)
